US Export Control Rule Sets 2027 Expiry for G42 AI Chip Access

A roughly 5,000-word US Commerce Department rule grants license-free access to top-tier AI chips for UAE-based G42 and its cloud unit Core42, but sets an expiration date of April 2027. Under a 17-word clause in the measure, maintaining continued access may require the firms to become US companies or secure renewed approval. G42 stated that it maintains substantial US ties and continuously evaluates opportunities aligned with its long-term objectives.

US Commerce Rule Requires G42 to Become US Entity for Chip Access

A U.S. Commerce Department rule granting license-free access to advanced AI chips for UAE-based G42 and Core42 specifies that their status will expire in April 2027 unless they become U.S. companies or secure renewed approval. Export-control experts expressed confusion over the 17-word requirement, while G42 stated it already maintains substantial U.S. ties and operates in full regulatory compliance. The mandate carries strategic implications for Gulf AI autonomy between the United States and China.
