Palantir's CTO Shyam Sankar warns that growing domestic resistance to data centers and power infrastructure in the U.S. poses a greater threat to America's AI race with China than competition from Beijing. He argues that local opposition to projects over electricity demand, water use, and grid expansion could hinder the economic and industrial gains that AI can already deliver. Sankar points to a submarine-parts manufacturer that used AI to slash production planning time, freeing capacity for a new shift. He believes the U.S. risks 'suicide, not homicide' in the AI race due to internal resistance.
