🛡 Data Centers Are Becoming Strategic Targets
Due to the explosive growth of AI infrastructure, data centers are turning into strategic assets ("key terrain"). The transition to GPU architectures is increasing power density from 5–15 kW to over 100 kW per rack.
🌍 Geopolitical risks are shifting toward the physical protection of digital infrastructure. States must account for the interdependence of protecting data centers, power plants, and water supply systems.
👤 The development of AI makes cloud services physically vulnerable. Future conflicts will directly impact the availability of computing power and data integrity.
