National data centre projects are consolidating America’s AI lead

Intel Summary
The Financial Times reports that national data center initiatives globally are reinforcing the United States' leadership in artificial intelligence. While various countries are building local facilities, distributing physical hardware across borders has not resulted in a decentralization of strategic AI control or power.
Why It Matters
The concentration of compute influence suggests that sovereign hosting agreements may not grant nations full technological autonomy or reduce strategic reliance on American infrastructure providers, impacting cross-border AI investment and regulatory governance strategies.
