Statement by Ambassador Yousef Al Otaiba on the United Arab Emirates joining Pax Silica

“By joining Pax Silica, the UAE is reinforcing a core principle we share with the United States: that the future of artificial intelligence must be grounded in trust and resilient global partnerships. But Pax Silica is about more than AI alone — it is also about economic prosperity, critical minerals and the infrastructure that powers the digital age. 

As AI reshapes economies, supply chains and societies, initiatives like Pax Silica help ensure that innovation remains open and is developed and deployed responsibly — protected by strong safeguards and guided by shared standards. Pax Silica reinforces the UAE–US technology partnership and contributes to a stable, secure foundation for the Silicon Age — one that supports long-term growth, opportunity and shared prosperity.”
