The author argues that sovereign AI is really about physical AI.
The key point is that defense and machines moving through a country create stronger localization pressure than browsers or apps ever did. Countries are much less willing to let foreign robotaxis or robots operate freely, so sovereignty concerns become a hardware-and-deployment issue, not just a model issue.
