Burgum Warns Whoever Wins AI Race 'Controls the World'
- Interior Secretary Burgum warned that winning the AI arms race between the U.S. And China depends on having sufficient energy, highlighting growing tensions as of May 2025.
- This concern arises from rising electricity demands to power AI data centers, which consume energy at levels comparable to ten Denvers, and a competitive rise in AI nationalism among nations.
- Burgum highlighted that data centers powered by fossil fuels essentially create intelligence and referenced Putin’s 2017 comment that the country leading in artificial intelligence will dominate global influence, emphasizing the strategic importance of AI.
- He emphasized that dominance in producing artificial intelligence technology equates to global influence and stressed the importance of the U.S. Maintaining leadership to prevent dependence on Chinese data centers.
- These developments imply that energy policy and technology leadership will shape national security, as the White House pursues strategies to ensure AI superiority and address related existential threats.
