AI sovereignty is quickly becoming the next battleground for enterprise control and resilience 🌍 In this #IBMThink 2026 exclusive, #theCUBE’s David Vellante speaks with Sripriya Srinivasan, GM IBM Software Products (Core & ALM) at IBM, about how digital sovereignty has evolved into a broader enterprise concern spanning operational control, open technology stacks, AI governance and long-term business resilience. “It started off as data sovereignty. Where is the data? Data location, data in rest, use and motion. But it very quickly shifted from that to operational sovereignty. Who runs my platform? Where is my control playing? Where are the keys and secrets? That had shifted towards technology sovereignty. Is the technology really open? And from there, much more recently in the last couple of years, it's been all about AI sovereignty. It kind of has gone a complete circle of digital sovereignty that includes data operational technology and AI,” Srinivasan shares. “It comes down to two things: control and independence. It's not like enterprises are trying to replicate being a technology vendor. They're not trying to replicate being a chip and a hardware vendor. They want operational resiliency to make sure their business is operational at all times. Their business is highly resilient from any type of media disruption external factors can bring in, and that's why they want sovereignty. In the world of AI, it is even more important because things are at a much, much accelerated pace,” she adds. 💡 Get more insights! https://lnkd.in/d-6uyunH #DigitalSovereignty #OperationalSovereignty #AISovereignty
