You're looking at a concept explainer: what this term means in plain English, and the records it ties together.
Governments increasingly treat AI capacity like energy or defense: national champions (Mistral for Europe, Humain for Saudi Arabia, G42 for the UAE), state-funded GPU clusters, data-residency rules and 'sovereign cloud' offerings from NVIDIA and the hyperscalers. It is a major demand channel for everything on this site — and a fragmentation force pulling against a single global AI market.
