    AI Is Becoming a Regional Race

    Anjney Midha

    Modern AI is classified as a General Purpose Technology diffusing faster than previous innovations, forcing nation-states to prioritize the strategic choice of building or buying compute infrastructure over the next 24 months. The resulting global landscape is bifurcating into "hypercenters" that own the full stack and "compute deserts," compelling smaller nations to form value-aligned joint ventures with major powers rather than attempting infeasible total vertical sovereignty. True national autonomy now depends on securing critical components like energy and data while navigating divergent regulatory regimes that determine whether a country becomes a leader or a dependent in the new AI economy.
