Build or Fall Behind: The National Imperative for Domestic AI Infrastructure

As AI reshapes the global economy, the race to build and control domestic infrastructure has become a defining test of national strength. While breakthrough models grab headlines, the physical systems that power them—data centers, energy, and cooling—now sit at the center of economic resilience and digital sovereignty.

In our latest white paper, Build or Fall Behind: The National Imperative for Domestic AI Infrastructure, Orion Digital Infrastructure explores why the U.S. must urgently accelerate the deployment of AI-ready data centers—and how doing so can fortify security, competitiveness, and control over the future of innovation.

Inside the white paper:

• Why infrastructure—not just algorithms—is now the cornerstone of AI leadership

• How domestic siting on federal land can unlock scale, security, and speed

• Strategies to bypass grid delays using modular generation and microgrids

• Emerging technologies in clean energy and liquid cooling for high-density AI workloads

• Global examples of how nations like Japan, Singapore, and Norway are moving faster

Why it matters:
Nations that control their AI infrastructure will control their future. Without urgent investment and reform, the U.S. risks falling behind—not only in innovation, but in national security, autonomy, and global influence.
