Nvidia's CEO Jensen Huang has been named the recipient of the 2026 IEEE Medal of Honor for his leadership in advancing GPUs and driving progress in modern AI. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show.
The U.S. has granted Nvidia a license to ship AI GPUs to the UAE, marking the start of a significant technology partnership. The GPUs will not go to G42, a UAE-based AI firm, but to American companies with data centers in the UAE. This move is part of a broader strategy to counter China's influence in the region by embedding U.S. cloud providers and hardware in UAE infrastructure. The deal aims to link AI hardware sales with Emirati investment and strengthen American control over AI deployment in the Middle East. Critics raise concerns about the lack of safeguards to ensure the GPUs are used in vetted environments.
