According to Ooredoo’s CEO, Reuters, Nvidia has inked a contract to implement its artificial intelligence technology at data centers owned by the Qatari telecom company Ooredoo in five Middle Eastern nations.
With this agreement, Nvidia will launch on a larger scale for the first time in a region where Washington has restricted the export of advanced American chips to prevent Chinese companies from using the Middle East as a backdoor to obtain the newest artificial intelligence technology.
According to a statement from Ooredoo, this will make it the first business in the region to offer direct access to Nvidia’s artificial intelligence and graphics processing technology to customers of its data centers in Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, Oman, Kuwait, and the Maldives.
According to Ronnie Vasishta, senior vice president of telecom at Nvidia, thanks to the technology, Ooredoo can more effectively assist its clients in deploying generative AI applications.
Additionally, Ooredoo declined to comment on the specific Nvidia technology it planned to install in its data centers, citing availability and customer demand as factors. Washington restricts exports of the company’s most advanced chips but permits exporting some Nvidia technology to the Middle East.
