Sovereign AI: Building ecosystems for strategic resilience and impact - McKinsey

Sovereign AI is achievable only through an ecosystem effort that connects energy, compute, data, models, platforms, and applications across multiple actors. Sovereign AI refers to a nation’s or organization’s ability to develop and control its own AI capabilities to ensure strategic independence and alignment with domestic values and laws. That said, sovereign AI does not have a single definition; rather, it is the result of the interaction between four distinct components:

territorial: where data and compute physically reside
operational: who manages and secures data and compute
technological: who owns the underlying stack and intellectual property
legal: which jurisdiction governs access and compliance
