Comment by Jeremy Jurgens
Managing Director of the World Economic Forum; head of its Centre for the Fourth Industrial Revolution / frontier technologies
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.

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.
