Cory Doctorow, writing for Pluralistic, argues that the concept of "AI digital sovereignty risk" is a fallacy, akin to the overhyped promises of blockchain technology. He posits that if a problem remains the same whether AI is involved or not, then AI itself contributes nothing to solving or exacerbating the issue. Doctorow uses the analogy of Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) to illustrate how complex blockchain solutions often still rely on a single point of trust, negating their purported benefits. He suggests that this critical assessment framework can be applied to other technological trends, including AI, to discern genuine solutions from fictitious ones. AI
