与美国-伊朗冲突相关的战斗已将主要海湾数据路由置于风险之中，包括穿越红海和霍尔木兹海峡的海底电缆。这一中断凸显了全球人工智能基础设施如何依赖于少数脆弱的物理连接。事件经过 海湾地区不断升级的冲突已使鲜为人知的全球互联网薄弱环节浮出水面：承载大部分国际数据流量的海底光缆。据报道，当前美伊战争实际上已将红海和霍尔木兹海峡都变成了冲突区域，威胁着关键数据路由。这两个海上咽喉要道是连接海湾数据中心与欧洲、亚洲和非洲网络的主要门户。仅红海就约有17条海底电缆通过，承载着这些地区之间的大部分流量。主要科技公司多年来一直在海湾地区投资，将其作为人工智能基础设施的潜在枢纽。包括亚马逊、微软和谷歌在内的公司已在该地区建设或规划了大型数据中心设施。这些项目严重依赖光纤链路，而这些链路穿过目前受军事升级影响的狭窄通道。风险不一定是对电缆的蓄意攻击。分析人士称，更直接的危险来自附带损害或由敌对行动中被击中的船只引发的事故。例如，2024年，一艘被导弹击中的货船在船锚拖过海床后切断了多条红海电缆，导致亚洲、欧洲和中东之间约25%的数据流量中断。如果安全状况阻止专业的电缆维修船进入受损地点，修复作业也可能面临延误。如果多条电缆同时发生故障，中断可能会持续数月而不仅仅是数天。相关阅读： https://btw.media/en/allit-infrastructure/du-and-datawave-link-gulf-to-singapore-with-new-subsea-route/ 为何重要 这一情况突显了数字基础设施如何已与地缘政治风险交织在一起。尽管能源公开来源证据和航运航道长期以来一直是军事规划的一部分，但数据基础设施尽管战略价值日益增长，却往往较少受到关注。海湾国家已将自身定位为未来的人工智能计算和云服务枢纽，吸引了数十亿美元的投资。近年来宣布的计划包括大型人工智能园区和遍布该地区的新数据中心集群。然而，这些项目依赖于可靠的国际连接。海底电缆路由在地理上受限，意味着流量经常通过有限数量的咽喉要道。当这些地点成为冲突区域时，远超该地区的数字服务也会感受到影响。这场危机还引发了关于政府和科技公司如何评估基础设施风险的疑问。一些分析人士认为，关于人工智能的政策讨论更多地集中在供应链和芯片出口上，而不是保护物理连接。目前，海湾地区的数字基础设施仍然在运行。然而，这场冲突表明地缘政治事件能多快地威胁到全球互联网的根基——进而威胁到构建于其上的不断扩展的人工智能服务生态系统。相关阅读： https://btw.media/en/allit-infrastructure/amazon-pledges-12bn-for-louisiana-data-centres/ 另见: AfriNIC会员名册神秘消失.
