In a world-first initiative, the United Arab Emirates has partnered with OpenAI to provide free ChatGPT Plus subscriptions—valued at $20 per month—to all its citizens. This pioneering move marks the UAE as the first country globally to introduce a large-scale, government-supported AI access program.
The partnership is part of OpenAI’s new "for Countries" program, aimed at helping national governments deploy AI infrastructure using U.S.-backed systems. The UAE’s approach goes beyond just AI investments—it actively integrates artificial intelligence into the daily lives, education, and professional environments of its people.
A key element of the collaboration includes the construction of a massive data center called "Stargate UAE," set to open in Abu Dhabi by 2026. This facility will serve as a national hub for AI innovation, driving advancements in education, healthcare, and government services.
While many countries are still laying the foundations of their AI strategies, the UAE is taking bold steps to ensure that the benefits of advanced AI technology are widely accessible and used to empower its citizens.
