The State of Sovereign AI Adoption (Research) | Cohere
According to IDC’s latest briefing, global organizations are facing increasingly urgent challenges in seeking AI autonomy. Over the past year, AI systems that rely on external infrastructure have become vulnerable due to unpredictable disruptions. Recent model access restrictions and multiple cybersecurity incidents serve as warnings. This highlights that when AI is entirely delivered by large tech companies, enterprises inherit a single external dependence that introduces operational, regulatory, and geopolitical risks. Therefore, businesses and public institutions are re-evaluating their AI strategies to avoid single points of failure, reduce vendor lock-in, and ensure that critical workflows remain available, secure, and resilient.
