Compute Visibility Institute

Making the world's compute visible.

Advanced AI depends on physical infrastructure. We use satellite imagery and open-source research to identify and understand the facilities where large-scale computing happens.

You cannot understand what you cannot see.

As AI becomes a source of economic and military power, it is also becoming a geopolitical asset. Understanding where advanced systems are built, who controls them, and how they are used is becoming an intelligence priority.

Researching the physical foundations of AI.

We combine geospatial analysis, satellite imagery, and public information to study where advanced computing infrastructure is located, how it is changing, and what it means for AI governance.
