"Sovereign AI is a relatively new term that's emerged in the last year or so," Chris Gow, IT networking giant Cisco's Brussels-based EU public policy lead, told CNBC.Currently, many of the biggest large language models , like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Anthropic's Claude, use data centers based in the U.S. to store data and process requests via the cloud.
"As this concept of data sovereignty becomes more mature and people understand what it means, we see more and more companies understanding the importance of having your data locally and under a specific jurisdiction and governance," Sanesi told CNBC."We have a lot of data," he added."This data is sovereign in specific countries, under specific regulations."
Countries are pushing the idea of AI sovereignty because they recognize AI is"the future" and a"massively strategic technology," Gow said. The aim of the Italia project is to store results in a given jurisdiction and rely on data from citizens within that region so that results produced by the AI systems there are more grounded in local languages, culture and history.
