The United States has almost 75% of global AI computing capacity.

Omissions

• The ~75% figure derives from Epoch AI's dataset covering 'top AI supercomputers' / GPU cluster performance (May 2025); other, broader metrics of total data-centre or 'public' compute capacity can yield a lower US share (e.g., ~48% of global public compute in one 2025 GeoCoded report), so the exact percentage is metric-dependent.
• The MEP cited no source; the underlying figure is consistent with European Commission communications on the AI Continent Action Plan (EU share below 5%, US around 75%).
• All consulted sources date from before the session date (2026-07-07) or describe data from May 2025, so the figure was knowable to the MEP.
