Congressman Ro Khanna has criticized the decision to place an artificial intelligence data center in Dubai, questioning the alignment with the ‘America First’ policy. This project involves major tech companies like OpenAI and Oracle collaborating with the United Arab Emirates on a massive data center initiative. The Stargate data center project in the UAE is backed by prominent firms such as Nvidia, Cisco, and Oracle. Critics argue that offshoring AI capabilities to the Middle East might inadvertently benefit China in the global tech race.
