Cohere CEO Aidan Gomez argues that sovereign AI is defined by deployment control rather than just domestic model training, emphasizing on-premises AI for enterprises and governments to retain data and operational autonomy. Cohere has expanded through a merger with Germany's Aleph Alpha and a Korean partnership with LG CNS, targeting regulated sectors in Europe, Canada, and Korea.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Your control over AI deployment is the new frontier for sovereignty, meaning companies in regulated sectors must prioritise hosting models on their own infrastructure. Cohere's moves in Europe and South Korea signal that direct ownership of AI operations is becoming essential to access sensitive markets.
