200 sats \ 7 replies \ @0xbitcoiner OP 27 Oct 2025 \ parent \ on: The Essential Role of Open Source in Sovereign AI AI

I pulled a few quotes here, but on pages 37, 38, and 39 there are some charts and more info about the methodology and demographics.

This study, based on a survey of 233 respondents and expert insights from industry leaders
Our methodology includes an online survey of 233 qualified respondents conducted from May to June 2025, complemented by expert webinars featuring industry leaders who provided contextual depth and strategic perspectives on sovereign AI development.
This research project is based on empirical data collected in a global survey and in three separate webinars.
To mitigate sampling biases, we also hired a panel provider. We addressed data quality through prescreening, survey screening questions, consistency checks, and data quality review. After the data quality filtering, our final sample comprised 233 valid responses.
A total of 443 respondents began the survey, and 279 completed it. After data quality screening, the analyzed data set comprised 233 responses. The margin of error for this sample size is +/- 5.4% at a 90% confidence level and +/- 6.4% at a 95% confidence level. The data was primarily segmented by region, organization size, and industry.

Ah, yes, thanks. I have overlooked the "industry" segmentation there. It only confuses me more though: if the largest group are IT service providers, then why do they defer in majority? I mean for example this:

Yeah so that's what I thought but they say 44% are IT service providers, and 4% is government!

Ok, wait after looking again I see the term "sovereign AI". I don't know what that means

Nearly four out of five organizations call AI sovereignty a strategic priority, and 90% cite open source as essential to achieving it.

From this perspective I'd say sovereign from the perspective of the business. But this may be confusing too, because they then continue on to talk about global vs sovereign, which would imply national level sovereignty.

But why would a corporation be nationalist? Makes no sense.

What I’m getting from that chart is IT providers basically saying the government should hand the cash to the companies! Hahaha

As in: "y'all give us money to develop nationally sovereign AI"? I mean that's actually likely, but that's a surprisingly weak attitude at the same time.

Are we all just milking the public now?
