Sovereign AI is everywhere in the rhetoric — but what does it actually take to build it?

Vinay Joosery is joined by Jim Dowling, Co-Founder and CEO of Hopsworks, to cut through the hype and get into the operational reality: GPUs, open source infrastructure, data gravity, hyperscaler dependence, sovereign washing, and why databases are becoming the memory layer for amnesiac LLMs.

From CUDA moats and European cloud alternatives to agentic programming and the future of AI-powered software development, this episode maps the real stack behind Sovereign AI — and the practical choices teams need to make if they want control over their data, workloads, and AI future.
