Many of these efforts sound desperate because they are! Whatever you think of generative AI, the US has made clear that it is primarily interested in financing & shaping its development such that the technology helps stall the decay of American power—at everyone else’s expense! Will this work?

So in the year to come: on the geopolitical front I’m going to be interested in attempts to concretize a compute-dollar system, moves made by the Compute Axis, the Gulf’s attempts to manage its role in the global AI value chain, and how “Sovereign AI” will be used to lock allies and clients into dependence on our tech stack.
