Poll Of the Week

What do you think about Nvidia’s pitch for “Sovereign AI”?

Nvidia is urging world governments to adopt “Sovereign AI” — national AI infrastructure built using its chips, software, and cloud partners.

It’s strategic overreach — Nvidia is pushing too far under the sovereignty banner.
