Today, global AI computing resources are clearly concentrated in the U.S. and China.
Together, the two countries host 50 of the world’s 132 AI accelerator-enabled cloud regions.
Given rising demand for AI systems, several countries are ramping up investment in local AI infrastructure, much of this in partnership with Nvidia.
This graphic, via Visual Capitalist’s Dorothy Neufeld, shows AI computing hubs by country, based on data from the University of Oxford.
Ranked: AI Computing Clusters by Country
Below, we show the number of AI accelerator-enabled cloud regions by country:
Today, the U.S. and China are the only countries globally with AI accelerators—specialized chips like Nvidia GPUs—from domestic suppliers.
In fact, over 95% of the world’s AI accelerators are powered by U.S. chipmakers.
As a result “compute sovereignty” is highly uneven globally, with the vast majority of nations having no AI infrastructure at all. More recently, the European Commission slotted $23 billion for creating five AI gigafactories. Meanwhile, the UAE is investing $1.4 trillion in AI infrastructure to drive economic transformation.
Overall, Nvidia says that 20 countries so far are expressing interest in AI sovereignty initiatives, including France, Germany, and Indonesia.
