UAE spreads out a 5GW AI campus

G42 told Reuters the project’s specifics remain under review against critical-infrastructure resilience standards, even as sources described underground construction and added protection under consideration. For builders, the paper’s grid-capacity analysis now needs a security column: power and chips are not usable capacity if one site becomes a failure domain.
