The UAE is revising its original 5-gigawatt AI data centre plan by decentralising into a network of smaller centres across the country and enhancing physical security measures in response to threats from the Iran war.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Infrastructure, and 2 sources have reported it.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You face new risks in AI data centre deployment from regional conflict. Redesign your infrastructure plans to favour decentralised, defended sites over large campuses to avoid becoming an easy target.
