Nvidia to launch in Middle East amid U.S. curbs on AI exports to region, Ooredoo CEO says
Nvidia has signed a deal to deploy its artificial intelligence technology at data centres owned by Qatari telecoms group Ooredoo in five Middle Eastern countries, Ooredoo's CEO told Reuters.

It will make Ooredoo the first company in the region able to give clients of its data centers in Qatar, Algeria, Tunisia, Oman, Kuwait and the Maldives direct access to Nvidia's AI and graphics processing technology, Ooredoo said in a statement.

EU probe into Chinese electric vehicle subsidies stirs debate over 'unfair' treatment
The European Union's decision to increase tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles has triggered a debate about whether the country is being unfairly singled out.
