Europe has only about 5% of global AI computing capacity, while the United States has almost 75%.

Omissions

• The figures originate from Epoch AI's measurement of GPU cluster / AI supercomputer performance as of May 2025, which is one specific metric of 'AI computing capacity'; alternative metrics (e.g., total data-center power capacity) yield different regional shares.
• 'Europe' in the underlying data effectively refers to the EU (some sources say EU ~5%); Epoch AI reports China at ~15% of global GPU cluster performance.
• The Epoch AI primary page explicitly confirms the US ~75% figure and China ~15%, while the EU ~5% figure is confirmed by secondary sources citing Epoch AI and the European Commission.
