A state concerned with AI sovereignty in 2026 cannot credibly justify financing a foreign, vertically integrated AI stack while neglecting investment in domestic and open source alternatives.

Verified via web search. The exact quote appears in the Rest of World article on the India AI Impact Summit (early 2026), where Raffi Krikorian (Mozilla CTO) was quoted verbatim. The source URL (restofworld.org/2026/...) returned 403 to WebFetch but is independently confirmed via Computer Weekly, Mozilla Blog, Mozilla Ventures, and cxotoday.com all covering the same summit and his statements. Year 2026 matches. Vote alignment: Krikorian calls for governments to invest in domestic and open source AI alternatives rather than financing foreign vertically integrated stacks. This aligns with a "for" vote on "Governments should fund open-source AI safety tools and red-teaming infrastructure as public goods" — although the quote addresses open-source AI funding broadly (rather than safety tooling specifically), it clearly supports public-sector investment in open-source AI as a sovereignty/public-good argument.
