It has become the foundation for national competitiveness and business survival. Yet its foundations—models, computing power and data—are concentrated in a few hands. In 2024, nearly 70% of leading AI models originated in the United States and another quarter in China1. The result is a level of dependence for some countries that raises important questions about resilience, competitiveness and long-term innovation. This path to risk mitigation and resilience also reveals a growth opportunity: Sovereign AI. The good news? Only one-third of an organization’s AI workloads need to be sovereign. Working with a mix of global and local providers leads to more opportunities for innovation and growth. Introduction4Sovereign AI | Own your AI future: From managing risk to accelerating growthIntroductionSovereign AI refers to a country’s ability to independently develop and deploy AI by relying on its own infrastructure, data, models and talent. This enables a country to foster innovation, drive economic growth and advance strategic goals—while retaining full control over the entire AI lifecycle.Sovereign AI is not about isolationism or every nation/company building the entire AI stack from scratch—very few can. It’s about interoperability on one’s own terms. The goal is to make technological choices that are flexible and secure and create a fit-for-purpose AI stack that blends global and local components, each governed by the right level of oversight depending on the use case and national priorities. Sovereignty allows countries and enterprises to create and participate in new trusted AI ecosystems and build secure ways to share data while hedging against geopolitical risk and strengthening resilience. It fuels local industry growth, fosters self-reliance and accelerates AI-led economic expansion. In essence, sovereign AI turns strategic vulnerability into an engine for innovation, competitiveness and nation-building measured through GDP expansion.5Sovereign AI | Own your AI future: From managing risk to accelerating growthOngoing geopolitical uncertainties are increasing concerns that relying heavily on a limited number of providers may introduce vul
