Cohere's Aidan Gomez: two or three Silicon Valley firms shouldn't rule AI for every government

Cohere founder Aidan Gomez shared his company's essay "Who Gets to Define the Rules for AI?" with a pointed take: "The idea that two or three Silicon Valley companies should act as the creator, gatekeeper, and rulemaker of AI for every government on earth doesn't survive being said out loud." The piece examines the state of sovereign AI adoption in 2026, arguing governments need independent, controllable AI options rather than dependence on a handful of frontier vendors.
