Look, China has sovereign AI because they can train on Huawei GPUs.

Estonian only has sovereign AI as long as they’re allowed to buy from Nvidia. Oh wait, they’re already restricted in what they can get.

But those servers most likely use CPUs not made in China, if I were to hazard a guess, doesn't that mean that that AI isn't "truly sovereign" in your mind then?

For now that's the case. But the Chinese government is really pushing for their companies to use local hardware.
