AI is no longer just a technology conversation. It is becoming a national strategy. I spoke to with Thierry Pienaar, Chief Tech Officer at Hewlett Packard Enterprise at #NVIDIAGTC, and we discussed something that is quickly gaining momentum: Sovereign AI.

Countries and organizations are starting to realize that where AI is built, trained, and deployed matters just as much as the models themselves. This is not just about innovation. It is about control, data ownership, and long-term independence.

In this conversation, we break down:

- What sovereign AI really means and why governments are investing in it

- The infrastructure required to support sovereign AI at scale

- How sovereign AI workloads differ from traditional AI setups

- The idea of a “sovereign AI factory” and how it comes together

- Real examples of organizations already building in this direction

- Early outcomes and what leaders are starting to see

This shift is bigger than most people think. AI is becoming part of national infrastructure.
