Cohere commissions IDC InfoBrief on 'Sovereign AI' adoption and finds mixed understanding among enterprise leaders
Cohere commissioned IDC to produce an InfoBrief on sovereign AI adoption among senior decision-makers in regulated industries. The study reports rising urgency around controlling AI infrastructure but widespread confusion over the term — one in three leaders struggled to define sovereign AI, while among those who could, 52% framed it as national/local control and 35% as digital independence — and Cohere highlights its North platform as a private-deployment option to retain local control.
