阿联酋新兴的人工智能投资公司MGX近日传出正在与知名人工智能研究实验室OpenAI就投资建设芯片厂进行初步洽谈。这一消息表明，OpenAI创始人山姆·奥尔特曼关于自建芯片厂的设想可能正在逐步成为现实。尽管此前关于OpenAI芯片厂的投资规模在媒体中流传的数字从数百亿美元到夸张的7万亿美元不等，但此次与MGX的接触为这一计划增添了实质性的一步。
MGX是由阿联酋人工智能和先进技术委员会在3月11日设立的，旨在推动半导体、人工智能基础设施以及核心技术和应用的创新与发展。这家新成立的投资公司得到了主权财富基金穆巴达拉与阿布扎比AI企业G42的支持，它们作为基础合作伙伴，将为MGX的科技布局提供坚实的基础。
如果MGX与OpenAI的合作得以实现，这不仅将为OpenAI提供必要的资金支持，也将进一步推动阿联酋在全球人工智能领域的影响力。同时，自建芯片厂也将有助于OpenAI更好地优化其人工智能模型的计算需求，提升其在人工智能研究和应用领域的竞争力。此次合作的进展将持续受到业界的密切关注。

News Title: “MGX in Talks with OpenAI for Investment: UAE’s Rising AI Giant Eyes Chip Factory”
Keywords: MGX investment, OpenAI chips, UAE AI
News Content: The emerging artificial intelligence investment firm MGX, based in the United Arab Emirates, is reportedly in preliminary discussions with renowned AI research lab OpenAI about investing in the construction of a chip factory. This development signals that OpenAI co-founder Sam Altman’s vision of building its own chip manufacturing facility might be inching closer to realization. Speculations about the scale of the OpenAI chip factory investment have ranged widely in the media, from billions to an exaggerated 7 trillion dollars, but the engagement with MGX represents a concrete step forward.
Established on March 11 by the UAE’s Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Technologies Council, MGX aims to drive innovation and development in semiconductors, AI infrastructure, and core technologies and applications. Backed by the sovereign wealth fund Mubadala and Abu Dhabi’s AI company G42 as cornerstone partners, MGX is poised to have a solid foundation for its technology portfolio.
Should the collaboration between MGX and OpenAI materialize, it would not only provide the necessary financial backing for OpenAI but also enhance the UAE’s global influence in the AI domain. Furthermore, owning a chip factory would enable OpenAI to optimize the computational requirements of its AI models more effectively, boosting its competitiveness in AI research and application. The progress of this partnership will be closely watched by the industry.
