Thanks for writing this up. I spent 2-3 days this month encouraging the UAE to set up an AI Security Institute. I was in Abu Dhabi during President Trump’s visit and spoke briefly with a few government officials whose title was “Chief AI Officer” of ministry such-and-such. I mostly wanted to know if they’d be interested in potentially collaborating with other AISIs. However, I’m not planning to continue working on UAE AISI stuff in the future.
