Data centers form the backbone of the digital ecosystem, and their geographical distribution provides a significant strategic advantage to the United States. The United States hosts 45.6% of the world's 11,800 data centers, far exceeding countries such as Germany and the United Kingdom (4.4% each)
Prompts are central to human-AI interaction, with their complexity directly influencing the performance of large language models (LLMs). Within prompt engineering, prompts can be categorised by their structural and functional complexity. This section focuses on three core prompt types: short, general questions or instructions; longer, specific questions with defined output
