Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The companies everyone is watching are not the ones who control what AI can become.The race is not about intelligence.It is about who owns the pipes.Every AI model runs on chips made by a handful of companies, trained in data centers owned by three cloud providers, distributed through operating systems and browsers that reach billions of people, and fed by data that only a few organizations have accumulated at scale.The model is visible. The infrastructure underneath it is not.That infrastructure is where the actual power of the AI era is being concentrated, quietly, legally, and faster than regulation can follow.The Pipe Owners is a complete structural analysis of who controls the five layers underneath every AI product in use today, and what that concentration means for everyone inside the system.What this book covers: - The compute layer: Why NVIDIA won, what the challenger architectures are, and what the physical limits of the supercomputer race look like.- The cloud layer: How three companies became the floor that every AI system runs on, and what the partnerships that look like competition actually are.- The distribution layer: How operating systems, browsers, search defaults, and enterprise software give existing technology companies an advantage that has nothing to do with building better AI.- The data layer: What proprietary data actually means for long-term AI power, and why the moats being built now will be harder to cross in five years.- The talent layer: Where the researchers went, what the acqui-hire produced, and how research capacity became concentrated inside four organizations.- The simultaneous advantage problem: What it means when the same entities control compute, cloud, distribution, data, and talent at the same time.- Regulation and its limits: What regulation can and cannot do, and the alternatives that actually exist.- Decision-making power: Who decides what AI can do, and through what process that decision currently gets made.This is not a book about technology policy.It is a book about power, where it went, how it got there, and what the concentration looks like from the inside of a system most people are using without seeing its structure.Book 3 of The Machine Age Seriesby Nishant Chandravanshi.…
