Doug Burgum Warns Whoever Wins AI Race ‘Controls the World’
- North Dakota Governor Burgum warned on Wednesday that whoever leads the AI race controls global power and security.
- This warning followed a heightened AI nationalism as nations compete to develop their technology amid a battle for supremacy.
- Data centers, fueled mostly by fossil fuels, require massive electricity—about ten times Denver's needs for one center—making energy supply critical to AI dominance.
- Burgum and others warned that dominance over the production of data-driven intelligence will determine global power, cautioning that if the U.S. Lags behind China in this area, it could face future digital conflicts.
- The administration aims to secure enough domestic energy, sell power to allies, and maintain AI leadership to avoid losing the technological future to rivals.
