May 15, 2025
UAE telecom operator du, part of Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC), has launched a new GPU-as-a-Service (GPUaaS) offering designed to meet the rising demand for high-performance compute infrastructure required for enterprise artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning workloads.
The service provides access to NVIDIA GPUs on-demand through a subscription model, allowing businesses to scale AI development without the need for significant upfront investment in hardware. du's platform will be hosted in its Tier III data centres, with enterprise-grade SLAs and secure, low-latency access, tailored for AI model training, inferencing, and large-scale data processing.
By launching GPUaaS, du positions itself as a critical enabler of AI adoption in the UAE's public and private sectors. The initiative aligns with the country's broader digital transformation goals, particularly the UAE's National Artificial Intelligence Strategy 2031.
du's enterprise clients—including those in finance, healthcare, energy, and smart city planning—can now accelerate AI development pipelines while managing costs and resource allocation more efficiently. The service is expected to appeal to startups and research institutions as well, offering flexible compute access without the traditional capital expenditure hurdles.

Deezer Adds AI Song Tags to Tackle Streaming Fraud
Yara Sameh Deezer announced Friday that it will begin labeling albums that include AI-generated tracks in combat against streaming fraud. The music streaming service reports that about 18% of the music uploaded each day — more than 20,000 tracks — is now fully AI-generated. While most of these tracks don't go viral, Deezer says around 70% of its streams are fake and designed to earn royalties fraudulently. To combat this, AI-generated tracks on Deezer are now clearly tagged and won't appear in editorial playlists or algorithm-based recommendations. Fraudulent streams are also being filtered out of royalty payments. The company says the new labels will be a game changer in helping listeners determine the difference between human-created music and AI content. Deezer notes that for now, AI-only songs make up just 0.5% of all streams on its platform, but that the trend is growing fast. 'We've detected a significant uptick in delivery of AI-generated music only in the past few months and we see no sign of it slowing down. It's an industry-wide issue, and we are committed to leading the way in increasing transparency by helping music fans identify which albums include AI music,' Deezer CEO Alexis Lanternier said in a press release . 'AI is not inherently good or bad, but we believe a responsible and transparent approach is key to building trust with our users and the music industry,' he added. 'We are also clear in our commitment to safeguarding the rights of artists and songwriters at a time where copyright law is being put into question in favor of training AI models.' Deezer applied for two patents in December 2024 for its AI Detection technology, which it says is focused on two different ways of detecting 'unique signatures' that tell the difference between synthetic and authentic content. The move comes as Universal Music Group, Warner Music Group, and Sony Music Entertainment are reportedly in talks to license their work to AI startups Udio and Suno, Bloomberg reported earlier this month. The startups are being sued by the record companies for copyright infringement, and any deal would help to settle lawsuits between them. read more New Tourism Route To Launch in Old Cairo Ahmed El Sakka-Led Play 'Sayidati Al Jamila' to Be Staged in KSA on Dec. 6 Mandy Moore Joins Season 2 of "Dr. Death" Anthology Series Don't Miss These Movies at 44th Cairo Int'l Film Festival Today Amr Diab to Headline KSA's MDLBEAST Soundstorm 2022 Festival Arts & Culture Mai Omar Stuns in Latest Instagram Photos Arts & Culture "The Flash" to End with Season 9 Arts & Culture Ministry of Culture Organizes four day Children's Film Festival Arts & Culture Canadian PM wishes Muslims Eid-al-Adha News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Amazon says it will reduce its workforce as AI replaces human employees
Amazon is warning its employees that artificial intelligence will help the company have a smaller workforce in the future. In a blog post Tuesday that was sent out earlier to employees, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that efficiency gains from AI would allow the company to eventually have a reduced human workforce. 'As we roll out more Generative AI and agents, it should change the way our work is done. We will need fewer people doing some of the jobs that are being done today, and more people doing other types of jobs,' he wrote. 'It's hard to know exactly where this nets out over time, but in the next few years, we expect that this will reduce our total corporate workforce as we get efficiency gains from using AI extensively across the company,' he continued. Al won't just effect change at Amazon, Jassy said. AI 'will change how we all work and live,' including 'billions' of AI agents 'across every company and in every imaginable field.'However, much of this remains speculative. 'Many of these agents have yet to be built, but make no mistake, they're coming, and coming fast,' Jassy said. He urged employees to view AI as 'teammates we can call on at various stages of our work, and that will get wiser and more helpful with more experience.' Jassy's message follows increased warnings within the tech industry over AI's effect on white collar jobs. In May, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei warned on CNN that the technology will spike unemployment sooner than unprepared political leaders and businesses expect. AI, including tools Anthropic itself is building, could eliminate half of entry-level, white-collar jobs and boost unemployment to as much as 20% in the next one to five years, he told Axios. Critics say these warnings aren't based off much research or evidence and are coming from the people who are poised to profit the most from AI adoption. Daniel Zhao, lead economist and senior manager on Glassdoor's economic research team, fully expects that AI will have a significant impact on the economy and how people work. But how much of an effect it's having on hiring and jobs currently is hard to tease out, he said. 'The economy and the job market have slowed, and it makes it difficult to disentangle how much of that is being driven by AI,' he said, adding that the recent slowdown in hiring activity is likely driven by economic uncertainty CNN's Alicia Wallace contributed to this report.
