AI computing power is unevenly distributed worldwide, with most advanced data centers located in the US, China, and the EU, creating a digital divide that impacts scientific progress, economic power, and geopolitical influence, while many countries struggle to develop their own infrastructure and retain talent.
The growing compute power required to train sophisticated AI models is causing a strain on mainstream chip technologies, leading to a shortage of server hardware and driving up prices. One proposed solution is photonic chips, which use light to send signals and could lead to higher training performance. However, while the technology generated excitement and investment a few years ago, investors and analysts now believe that photonic chips for AI are not the panacea they were once believed to be.
