On February 7th, according to a report by US financial media Semafor, sources revealed that OpenAI is collaborating with Abu Dhabi-based G42 to develop a new version of ChatGPT tailored for the UAE, adapting to local language, political views, and speech restrictions. OpenAI employees revealed that this customized version is specifically designed for the UAE government. Once completed, it will be one of the first examples of localizing a popular chatbot, indicating that US tech companies may need to launch regionalized versions of their technology solutions as they advance the global expansion of artificial intelligence.
It is understood that specific details are still under discussion, but the final product is expected to be a finely tuned version of ChatGPT that will be fluent in local Arabic and may have content restrictions. Sources involved in the project revealed that the UAE hopes the chatbot will convey a political stance consistent with the monarchy. (Jinshi)
