Artificial intelligence (AI) darling Nvidia’s (NVDA) CEO Jensen Huang has been championing the idea of “sovereign AI” since 2023, a vision rooted in the belief that every nation should have ownership over its own AI, shaped by its unique language, culture, and values. And now, Europe is starting to take this message seriously.
Just last week, the chip giant partnered with Deutsche Telekom (DTEGY) to introduce sovereign AI in Germany, unveiling plans to develop an AI-powered industrial cloud for European manufacturers. This so-called “AI factory,” which will be operated by Deutsche Telekom, is expected to be up and running by 2026. It’s designed to help European manufacturers integrate AI into a wide range of applications, from design and engineering to simulation, robotics, and digital twins.
