.@ilblackdragon defines AI sovereignty at every scale: user, company, community, and country, as the US CLOUD Act can reach data centers abroad "You want it at every scale. At the user side, at the company level. You want company to own their data, their AI, the IP stays with the company. We've seen Palantir talking about it from a company perspective. Own your alpha, own your IP, don't give it away to other companies." "Then you have the community level. If we're San Francisco, what is the San Francisco AI? What is the culture and data that stays there. And then you have a country level, which is a sovereignty boundary specifically important because of the laws." "US has the CLOUD Act, which effectively allows US to cut access and take any data. All of the cloud companies are US companies. So if somebody uses Microsoft, Amazon services in another country, even if the data center is in the country, US can still enforce effectively lock out." "We've seen this with the tabletop. That was an activating moment, because they effectively used export control as, what if they export control everything. Now the demand is there for every country to have their own GPUs, their own inference stack, and their own application stack." @NEARProtocol
