This move is part of a broader strategic partnership between the UAE government and OpenAI, aiming to establish the country as a global leader in artificial intelligence.
The initiative is connected to the Stargate UAE project, a massive AI data center under development in Abu Dhabi. This facility is expected to host a one-gigawatt computing cluster, positioning the region as a major hub for AI research and development.
ChatGPT Plus, which typically costs $20 per month, offers users benefits such as faster response times, access to GPT-4, and priority for new features. With this plan, all Dubai residents will gain these advantages at no cost.
This offering is also part of OpenAI’s global program to support national-level AI systems tailored to local needs, ensuring data privacy, ethical use, and alignment with governance standards.
However, there have been some clarifications around the announcement, as certain sources suggest the free access may be limited or phased depending on ongoing agreements and infrastructure deployment. Despite that, the UAE’s vision to lead in the AI sector remains clear, backed by collaborations with major global tech firms.
