Digital sovereignty concept being weaponised: US official
The concept of digital and artificial intelligence sovereignty is in the danger of being weaponised by different political voices overseas, a senior US official said here, urging nations not to “sink” billions of dollars in “re-inventing” a technology that already exists.
US Under Secretary of State for Economic Affairs Jacob Helberg was addressing the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF) Leadership Summit here.
“In my view, sovereignty comes from being a net contributor to the world’s innovation ecosystem. It is about innovation sovereignty, not just ‘do you control last year’s stack entirely in-house’,” Helberg said.
