Nations won’t just compete using armies or surveillance. They’ll do it via control of intelligence. Once models become core infra, sovereignty moves to where compute and data live. Think "airport customs" for GPUs and datasets. > Local nodes run tasks. > Proofs and attestations travel. > Raw data stays within borders. Govs will demand that local compute and data supply chains stay inside borders. They’ll mandate local nodes, force audits, impose trusted compute zones. DeAI becomes the battleground for jurisdiction. Control over agent networks outranks control over the cloud.
