The United States is accelerating its dominance in the global artificial intelligence infrastructure race, with its share of new AI compute rising significantly. According to recent data, the US accounted for 78% of all newly deployed AI compute capacity in the first half of 2026, marking a sharp increase from 60% recorded in 2024. The widening gap underscores aggressive capital expenditure by American hyperscalers and frontier AI labs on specialized data centers and advanced accelerators. The trend further concentrates next-generation model training infrastructure within North America, outpacing international efforts to build sovereign compute capabilities.
