An agreement between Italy and the United Arab Emirates aims to develop an advanced artificial intelligence hub in Italy, as announced by Industry Minister Adolfo Urso on Friday.

Abu Dhabi-based G42 has partnered with Italy's iGenius to create what is expected to be Europe's largest AI computing infrastructure. Financial backing for the project's initial phase will primarily come from G42.
