AI is becoming critical infrastructure for companies and governments. But when the data, models and computing power sit in someone else’s hands, who is really in control? Cohere co-founder and CEO Aidan Gomez joins CNBC’s Arjun Kharpal to explain why the next phase of the AI race will be shaped by sovereignty: where sensitive data lives, who controls the infrastructure and whether access to vital systems could be restricted or switched off. Gomez, one of the authors of the landmark 2017 “Attention Is All You Need” paper, argues that cost, governance and trust will matter as much as raw model performance as businesses move toward more autonomous AI. He also assesses China’s rapid progress and explains AI’s double-edged role in cybersecurity—finding and exploiting vulnerabilities at scale, while also helping organizations detect and patch them.
