Governments worldwide are prioritizing AI as a national strategic asset, adopting industrial policies to secure AI sovereignty and control over compute resources. The U.S. recently restricted foreign access to key AI models, highlighting risks of dependency on foreign systems. The U.S. and China dominate AI compute capacity but face physical and social constraints limiting growth. Meanwhile, countries like the EU and Canada are developing their own AI infrastructure to reduce reliance on foreign providers. The AI competition now involves complex interdependencies across energy, materials, infrastructure, and governance, making industrial policy crucial for future leadership.
