Compute Supply Chain

The compute supply chain is the chain of companies and physical resources that produces and delivers the processing power AI systems run on, from chip designers and foundries to cloud providers and data center operators. It matters for enterprise AI governance because a disruption, export restriction, or security incident anywhere along it can limit which AI models an organization can access, where its data is processed, and whether its vendors can keep their service commitments. Compliance and risk teams increasingly need to know which providers sit underneath their AI tools, in which countries, and under which export controls.

New York Data Center Moratorium Puts AI Infrastructure Compliance on the Map

New York Governor Kathy Hochul signed an executive order pausing new data center projects for one year, the first such moratorium in the United States. State Senator Kristen Gonzalez is advancing the Responsible Data Center Development Act, which would make that pause permanent in statute and add public engagement and community benefits requirements. The legislation is expected to reach the Governor's desk by year-end 2026.
