The United Arab Emirates is investing $20 billion in OpenAI's Stargate UAE, which is marketed as a sovereign AI capability despite relying wholly on American technology. This phenomenon indicates a paradox, as countries striving for AI independence become more dependent on global resources. Similar investments are seen in other nations, such as France and India, highlighting a trend where the branding of AI infrastructure doesn't equate to true sovereignty. The underlying systems, including chips and training data, remain foreign, revealing a complex web of dependencies that challenge national self-reliance.
