How sovereign is sovereign AI?

A company runs a sovereign cloud region, hosts model weights domestically, and keeps every byte of customer data inside the bloc. The chips came from one vendor, the architecture from a foreign lab, and the inference software from a company subject to its own government's compulsion powers. This panel works through the layers — separating data, model and compute sovereignty that most discussions collapse, asking what hosting weights domestically does and doesn't buy, and whether most sovereign AI is meaningful control or a reassuring wrapper around foreign dependencies.
