Nvidia has agreed to share its artificial intelligence technology with Qatar’s Ooredoo telecom group, although the specifics of the deal have not been disclosed. The Silicon Valley chipmaker signed an agreement that will allow Ooredoo to use its equipment at data centers in Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, Oman, Kuwait, and the Maldives. This marks Nvidia’s first major launch in a region where the export of sophisticated U.S. chips to Chinese firms has been restricted by the U.S. government to prevent the access of the newest AI technology through Middle Eastern countries.
Nvidia’s Senior Vice President of telecom, Ronnie Vasishta, stated that providing the technology will enable Ooredoo to help its customers deploy generative AI applications more effectively. The companies did not specify which elements of Nvidia’s technology will be shared with Ooredoo, nor did they disclose the value of the deal. The agreement was signed on the sidelines of the TM Forum in Copenhagen on June 19.
