Home Resources News G42 and Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs Explore AI for the Physical World G42 and Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs Explore AI for the Physical World 20 Oct 2026 Share G42 and Yann LeCun’s AMI Labs Explore AI for the Physical World • Signed on the sidelines of UAE-France Business Dialogue in Abu Dhabi, the agreements build on UAE–France AI cooperation • Non-binding MoUs span world models, AI infrastructure and sovereign enabled cloud, and potential integration with technology platforms ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates, [October 20, 2026]: G42, the Abu Dhabi-based global technology group, and its portfolio company Analog have signed memoranda of understanding (MoUs) with Advanced Machine Intelligence . The non-binding agreements span frontier AI research, advanced compute infrastructure, sovereign enabled cloud and potential industrial applications. Co-founded by AI pioneer and Turing Award laureate Yann LeCun, Advanced Machine Intelligence is developing world models: a new generation of frontier AI systems designed to understand physical environments, anticipate outcomes and support reasoning and planning. Analog brings its own pioneer to the partnership. Founder and CEO Alex Kipman, the inventor behind Microsoft’s HoloLens and Kinect and recognized with the Longuet-Higgins Prize for his groundbreaking work in computer vision research, moved to Abu Dhabi to launch Analog with G42 and advance Physical Intelligence. The proposed collaboration would combine Advanced Machine Intelligence’s research with G42’s AI infrastructure, cloud and deployment capabilities, including Analog’s Physical Intelligence platform, to identify where world models could be applied across industries. His Excellency Mansoor Al Mansoori, CEO of G42 International, said: “The UAE and France share a longstanding partnership rooted in trust, shared ambition and a commitment to responsible technological progress. At G42, we are proud to build on this foundation through our work with AMI Labs. Together, we are advancing the frontiers of world models and Physical Intelligence, opening new possibilities for how AI understands and interacts with the physical world.” “World models are how AI will learn to understand and act in the physical world. The UAE brings together talent, compute at scale and deep industrial expertise, which makes G42 a natural partner as we explore what world models can do in real environments,” said Alexandrew Lebrun, co-founder and CEO of Advanced Machine Intelligence. The agreements provide a framework to exchange information, define shared objectives and shape future cooperation. Scope, commercial terms and implementation will be determined in separate definitive agreements. Signed on the sidelines of UAE-France Business Dialogue in Abu Dhabi, the agreements reinforce technological cooperation between the two countries, building on the UAE–France AI cooperation formalized by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, President of the UAE, and President Macron in February 2025. They extend G42’s presence in France, which includes its operational AI data center in Grenoble and a strategic partnership with Mistral AI formalized in May 2025.
