Cohere CEO: Renting AI from foreign providers is a national security risk

Aidan Gomez, CEO of Cohere, has warned that relying on foreign providers for critical AI services poses a significant national security risk. He highlighted the recent U.S. government action restricting access to Anthropic's Mythos model as an example of this vulnerability. Gomez advocates for "sovereign AI," where countries build and control their own AI infrastructure, including data centers, chips, and models, rather than renting access via APIs from foreign companies. He suggests that democracies should collaborate to build shared, independent AI systems, acknowledging that full self-sufficiency in AI infrastructure is challenging for most nations. AI
