ADNOC partners with G42, Microsoft to drive autonomous AI in energy
The technology will accelerate seismic surveys from months to days and improve the accuracy of production forecasts by up to 90%.
UAE energy giant ADNOC, in collaboration with G42, Microsoft, and AIQ, is set to pioneer the use of highly autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) in the energy industry.
Sultan Al Jaber, CEO of ADNOC and Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology, made the announcement at an industry event in Abu Dhabi.
As part of its strategy to develop an advanced tech sector, ADNOC is seeking greater access to American technology. This effort is led by G42, a government-backed AI company that received a $1.5 billion investment from Microsoft in April, supporting the UAE’s broader goal to diversify its economy beyond oil.
“The exponential growth of AI is creating a power surge that no one anticipated 18 months ago when ChatGPT took off,” said Al Jaber, who also serves as Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and President of COP28.
Agentic AI, regarded as the next frontier in artificial intelligence, enables systems to operate autonomously, performing tasks independently on behalf of users.
“It will not only analyze petabytes of data, it will proactively and autonomously identify operational improvements,” Al Jaber stated, noting that the technology will accelerate seismic surveys from months to days and improve the accuracy of production forecasts by up to 90%.
The UAE is making significant investments in AI, including the development of Arabic and Hindi-language chatbot applications similar to OpenAI’s ChatGPT.
Last year, Inception, Mohamed bin Zayed University of Artificial Intelligence (MBZUAI), and Cerebras Systems collaborated to create Jais, a cutting-edge Arabic Large Language Model. Jais, a 13-billion-parameter model, was trained on a curated dataset of 395 billion Arabic and English tokens.
