DUBAI, Nov 2 (Reuters) - ⁠Abu Dhabi's ADNOC and artificial intelligence ⁠firm G42 on Monday signed a ‌deal withOpenAI under which the state energy firm will integrate advanced AI capabilities across itsoperations, the ​Abu Dhabi Media Office said.

The ⁠deal was signed ⁠as theChatGPT maker's CEO Sam Altman met ⁠with ‌Abu Dhabi's Crown Prince Sheikh Khaled bin Mohamed bin Zayed Al ⁠Nahyan in Abu Dhabi and attended ​the United ‌Arab Emirates' biggest oil show, ADIPEC.

US ⁠oil firms ​ExxonMobil and Chevron last week cancelled plans for their executives to travel to the ⁠Gulf country and join the ​event, citing security concerns.

Fears of fresh US attacks on Iran and retaliatory strikes by ⁠Tehran have gripped the oil markets in recent days.

US President Donald Trump has said he would not launch an attack ​on Iran before the ⁠US midterm elections on November 3, but ​on Friday he said ‌Washington may carry out ​another military operation against Iran.
