About Mastering Sovereign Artificial Intelligence by Mark Nasila

Data, like oil or minerals, is a vital resource – and who owns it is critical, especially as it fuels the artificial intelligence (AI) revolution. Sovereign AI is about much more than countries merely owning their data, it's about control. It ensures AI aligns with their cultural, ethical, and legal frameworks. It's about making sure AI works for people and not the other way around.

Businesses, nations, and leaders are quickly realising the need to embrace sovereign AI. This marks a profound shift from building software to creating intelligence. AI has already transformed the world; how we think about its ownership will determine what comes next.

In this groundbreaking and thought-provoking book, Mastering Sovereign Artificial Intelligence, AI expert, researcher, and speaker Dr Mark Nasila explores what sovereign AI really means, how it differs from other AI models, and why understanding it is essential for the future.

He outlines the shifting geopolitical landscape of AI and the emerging trends shaping international competition, delving into how AI intersects with national security, the economy, and global power.

Data and AI sovereignty demand that countries develop skilled AI workforces, establish AI factories, and embed governance and ethics from the very start of any AI strategy.

With insights from leading global experts, this handbook is essential reading for anyone who's interested in AI – from individuals and business leaders to policymakers and parents concerned about the future of work.

AI is the defining asset of our age and how we choose to own and govern it will shape the destiny of nations – and our place in the world.
