The UAE is revising its 5-gigawatt AI data center plans to spread infrastructure across multiple locations and enhance physical protection measures after Iranian attacks raised security concerns.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure, and 10 sources have reported it between 11 Sep 2026 and 14 Sep 2026.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

UAE AI leaders are shifting from a centralised to a decentralised data center setup with increased defence measures. If your tech relies on stable AI infrastructure in the Gulf, reassess dependencies on single-location hubs and consider resilience in your architecture.
