1 million Genomes Later, the Bedside Model Still Waits

The UAE has assembled the most complete sovereign healthcare-AI stack any country has built: sovereign compute, a million-sample national genome programme, and a clinical model benchmarked ahead of GPT-4.

That caveat is the most precise evidence about where the Gulf investment earns its return: in the biobank and the data-sovereignty infrastructure rather than in the generative layer above them.
