Governments are on track to spend more than $1 trillion by 2030 chasing a sovereign stack, the full range of hardware and capabilities necessary to deploy and operate AI infrastructure. [...] In an interdependent system, the question shifts from how to become independent to how to become indispensable.AI Verified source (2026)

The quote clearly criticizes governments pursuing a “sovereign stack” for independence, arguing that in an interdependent system the goal should not be to become independent. That directly implies opposition to the idea that the EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure in order to reduce dependence on US cloud providers.

ai_verified: A reliable republication on the World Economic Forum site, credited to Jeremy Jurgens and marked as "originally published in Foreign Policy," contains the opening sentence about governments spending more than $1 trillion by 2030 and the concluding sentence about shifting from independence to indispensability in the same article text. Search results also identify the Foreign Policy piece at the supplied March 9, 2026 URL as a Jeremy Jurgens article. The [...] represents omitted intervening text rather than alteration.

Quote verified. The source URL (Foreign Policy, "The Myth of AI Sovereignty", 2026-03-09) returned HTTP 403 to WebFetch, but a targeted web search returned the exact passages: "Governments are on track to spend more than $1 trillion by 2030 chasing a sovereign stack..." and "In an interdependent system, the question shifts from how to become independent to how to become indispensable." Both are attributed to Jeremy Jurgens (WEF managing director) in that very article. Author attribution correct. Vote alignment correct: the statement is "The EU should build sovereign AI infrastructure to reduce dependence on US cloud providers" and Jurgens argues against pursuing AI sovereignty (favoring interdependence/indispensability), so the "against" vote matches. Year 2026 is current.
