About
The Simple Thinker is independent analysis on enterprise AI deployment, sovereign infrastructure, and how the UAE and the wider GCC are shaping the next decade of applied artificial intelligence.
Written and produced for CTOs, policy teams, and investors who need clarity, not headlines. Short, structured analysis — published weekly.
The four pillars
AI Strategy. How enterprises should approach model choice, governance, observability, and the build-vs-buy decision.
AI Infrastructure. GPU economics, sovereign compute, inference cost, data centre design, and the supply chain underneath the hype.
AI in the Region. UAE and GCC focus — Stargate UAE, Falcon, Jais, regulatory frameworks, and the talent equation.
Reading the Research. Translating notable papers and benchmarks into what they mean for industry practice.
