Re: AI - it’s the future?

There's a lot of info in this Stanford University report, but one point really stood out for me
Quote:

The United States hosts the most AI data centers, with the majority of their chips fabricated by one Taiwanese foundry. The United States hosts 5,427 data centers, more than 10 times any other country, and it consumes more energy than any other country. A single company, TSMC, fabricates almost every leading AI chip, making the global AI hardware supply chain dependent on one foundry in Taiwan—though a TSMC-U.S. expansion began operations in 2025.

We've been told "the future is AI", and it appears to be dependant on one foundry in a country that is under constant threat from it's very large neighbour, China.
A single point of failure for the World's economy - what could possibly go wrong?
