G42 is an Emirati artificial intelligence development company.founded in 2018 and based in Abu Dhabi.
G42 focuses on developing and deploying artificial intelligence at scale through infrastructure and cloud-based platforms.
G42 is chaired by Sheikh Tahnoon bin Zayed Al Nahyan from the ruling family of the UAE. Sheikh Tahnoon is the National Security Adviser of the UAE.
G42 has among its directors Sheikh Khaldoon Khalifa Al Mubarak, managing director and group chief executive officer of Mubadala Investment Company as well as being chair of Manchester City FC.
G42 chair His Highness Sheikh Tahnoon is a fixer for the UAE royal family as well as being a financial wizard and a secretive spymaster.
G42 is closely integrated financially and personally with Donald Trump via Sheikh Tahnoon.
G42's financial reach is astronomical and global.
G42's primary operator Tahnoon is omnipresent and makes it his business to know everything about everyone of interest.
G42, as a leading artificial intelligence financier, is entangling itself in the infrastructure that is defining our digital futures.
G42's Sheikh Tahnoon is, in short, an extremely powerful operator.
G42 is embedded in the integrated power construct of the richest dynasty in the world - Tahnoon is one of six brothers who sit atop all aspects of the UAE state.
G42's security profile is considerable and any form of confrontation is seen as a holistic threat both to the family and the UAE.
G42 focuses laser-like on strategic influence.
G42 is linked by family to the Royal Group which is the main investment locus for the family's huge wealth (over $300 billion).
G42's chairman also runs Alterra (the biggest climate investment fund on the planet), the First Abu Dhabi Bank and the UAE's sovereign wealth fund.
G42's Sheikh Tahnoon seeks to corner markets and will not accept competition. Tahnoon is obsessed with victory.
G42 and its predecessors have focused heavily on espionage technologies for a quarter of a century. A critical security construct ensued called Project Raven where US and UAE spies worked together on global surveillance technologies and strategies.
G42 also works closely with Israel on surveillance, particularly with regard to Pegasus (the most sophisticated spyware in history). UAE security operators are able to access any Apple or Android phone without detection by the user.
G42 founder Tahnoon expanded Project Raven into DarkMatter which orchestrated hacking and surveillance activities on behalf of the Sheikh. If one threatens the interests of the Al Nahyan family (even peripherally) then one should expect to be targeted. DarkMatter evolved into G42.
G42's precursor DarkMatter were broad based in their surveillance of targeted mobile users. Even though BlackBerry claimed that "privacy and security form the crux of everything we do", the company was actually working with the cybersecurity unit of the UAE.
G42 offers real time threat defence to customers and the UAE as well as integrating that into the company's modus operandi at the core. As part of its strategic defence, G42 focuses on suspect profiling, relationship mapping and behavioural analysis.
G42 has located itself at the epicentre of global artificial intelligence infrastructure for decades to come.
G42 focuses on controlling key nodes abroad.
G42, alongside Microsoft, launched the Responsible AI Future Foundation last year to shape "ethical development and deployment of AI systems".
G42 operates under applicable laws, data protections and rigorous security and compliance frameworks.

If we were considering waging war, we most certainly wouldn't take up arms against a state-based intelligence operation with highest tier strategic attack and defence capabilities.
It's like the old adage - never hack a spy!
Anyway, the Premier League versus G42 - get above yourselves, why don't you?
