OpenAI's recent deal to build AI data centers in the UAE, under the guise of democratic values, is seen as contradictory given UAE's autocratic governance.
The UAE scores low on civil liberties and political rights, often accused of human rights violations, making the 'democratic AI' claim questionable.
Despite the democratic pretense, the primary motivation for OpenAI's partnership with the UAE appears to be economic and strategic benefits, including access to resources and AI advancements.
The deal indicates a shift in AI power dynamics, as the UAE's involvement enhances their position in the global AI landscape, potentially boosting autocratic power.
OpenAI's narrative of spreading democratic values through AI is seen as a facade, failing to address the deeper implications of empowering non-democratic regimes with advanced AI capabilities.
