The Emirates is also now the world's most connected country, with a massive score of 7.53 out of 10, according to the study. Countries like Hong Kong, Malaysia, Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Argentina, and Taiwan follow next on the list.

However, the UAE didn't grab the top spot when it comes to the best internet access. It came fourth on the list, preceded by South Korea, Hong Kong, and Denmark.

The study further revealed that netizens in the UAE spend the 13th highest number of hours on the internet each day, amounting to an average of 7 hours and 29 minutes.

Nonetheless, internet usage has skyrocketed (if exaggerated) in the UAE and globally after the coronavirus pandemic, since more and more people started working from home and a greater number of businesses chose to make deals with clients virtually for its cost-efficiency.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.

This has been done through several high-profile exchanges including the signing of the Comprehensive Strategic Partnership Agreement in 2017 which made these...

The UAE's AI Ambitions Get a Boost with Nvidia Chip Approval: A Game-Changer for the Gulf Region.

-
The advance made by the United States in the approval of cutting-edge Nvidia chips to G42 is a historic development for UAE’s artificial intelligence ambitions. This strategy thus not only represents significant technological growth but also marks an important political milestone for UAE that wants to portray itself as a global hub for technology. In particular, accessing advanced AI technologies such as Nvidia’s H100 models has been significantly hindered over the years due to fears about UAE-China relations, with the US tightening its export restrictions in the area. However, this recent endorsement—a fact which received little attention—shows that there is now greater strategic flexibility and demonstrates how committed UAE is towards ensuring it stays clear from any possible Chinese influence if it wants to become one of our most reliable partners. The timing for G42’s bold distribution of these Nvidia chips could not be better. With worldwide AI rivalry heating up after the advent...
