The race for AI dominance is heating up. According to top executives in the defense tech space, the U.S. currently holds the edge in AI capabilities. However, there's a strategic wildcard: China's aggressive push to build a national data center network in orbit. This move could fundamentally reshape computational infrastructure as we know it. Whoever controls next-gen data processing—whether ground-based or space-based—will have serious leverage in the decentralized future. Worth watching as the tech landscape evolves.
