Estonia established the first data embassy in 2017 and there’s only been one other since, from Monaco. Both embassies are in Luxembourg and hold a backup of the countries’ critical data, set up as a security measure against cyber and climate risks. As AI scales, the concept could gain momentum as a way to build data centers overseas — in places that have plenty of resources and power, given energy is one of Europe’s biggest bottlenecks in building AI infrastructure —…
