The rapid expansion of artificial intelligence is reshaping global power dynamics in ways that extend far beyond technology companies. Nations are competing not only in algorithms and computing power but also in the physical resources that enable AI systems to function. This shift has given rise to the concept of Pax Silica, a term used to describe a new global order built around the control of silicon, semiconductors, and advanced computing infrastructure.
