Qatar joins other Gulf nations to advance AI

2025/12/09 13:18

Qatar has launched a new company to develop and invest in artificial intelligence (AI), joining other Gulf nations investing heavily in the technology.

Qai, the new AI-focussed entity, will operate as a subsidiary of the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), the state-owned Qatar News Agency reported.

Qai will develop, manage, and invest in advanced AI infrastructures both within Qatar and internationally, the statement added.

No financial details were disclosed.

Qai chairman Abdullah bin Hamad Al Misnad said the launch of Qai marks a significant step in Qatar’s drive to position itself as a competitive hub for AI and data-driven industries.

In September, QIA took part in the US quantum computing startup PsiQuantum’s $1 billion funding round.

The Gulf nation has been investing in global tech companies, including Elon Musk’s xAI, to diversify its economy and build expertise in fields such as artificial intelligence, quantum computing and renewable energy.

The UAE and Saudi Arabia have already committed billions of dollars to global AI initiatives and have established national AI companies, such as G42 in Abu Dhabi and Humain in Riyadh.

This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks

The post This U.S. politician’s suspicious stock trade just returned over 200% in weeks appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. United States Representative Cloe Fields has seen his stake in Opendoor Technologies (NASDAQ: OPEN) stock return over 200% in just a matter of weeks. According to congressional trade filings, the lawmaker purchased a stake in the online real estate company on July 21, 2025, investing between $1,001 and $15,000. At the time, the stock was trading around $2 and had been largely stagnant for months.

OPEN’s stock rally Notably, Opendoor’s rally has been fueled by major corporate shifts and market speculation. For instance, in August, the company named former Shopify COO Kaz Nejatian as CEO, while co-founders Keith Rabois and Eric Wu rejoined the board, moves seen as a return to the company’s early innovative spirit.  Outgoing CEO Carrie Wheeler’s resignation and sale of millions in stock reinforced the sense of a new chapter. Beyond leadership changes, Opendoor’s surge has taken on meme-stock characteristics. In this case, retail investors piled in as shares climbed, while short sellers scrambled to cover, pushing prices higher.  However, the stock is still not without challenges, where its iBuying model is untested at scale, margins are thin, and debt tied to…
