【文/观察者网专栏作者 心智观察所】 在新疆东北部、天山北麓东段的偏远角落，伊吾县这个曾经鲜为人知的"小城"正以惊人之势崛起。 这座人口稀少、曾被戏称为"一盏路灯亮全城，一个馕饼滚出城"的县城，如今成为中国算力经济的核心 地带，甚至吸引了国际目光。 最近，彭博社记者远赴此地，拍摄纪录片，试图探寻中国人工智能雄心的秘密。而他们的镜头，记录了 伊吾的转型，更无意间揭示了中国"东数西算"战略的宏大布局。 彭博社在纪录片中惊叹："在中国西北部这片偏远的角落，有一个小镇正成为中国人工智能雄心的核 心。这片看似荒凉的土地正逐渐成为中国争夺AI霸主地位、挑战美国的关键区域。" 他们指出，中国在伊吾这样的西部沙漠地区投入数十亿美元建设数据中心，这些设施是中国到2030年成 为全球AI领导者的关键基础设施。尽管美国自2022年起禁止向中国出口英伟达H100和H200芯片，试图 遏制中国AI发展，但彭博社的调查并未找到中国获取禁运芯片的证据。 这再次否定了西方一直以来的污蔑与刻板臆测。 这种"电力+气候"的组合，使伊吾成为高耗能算力产业的理想选址。相比东部地区电力紧张的现状，伊 吾的绿色能源和低运营成本为算力中心提供了可持续发展 ...
