Data and infrastructure are the true pillars of sovereign AI — without them, sovereignty remains an abstract idea.In this second episode of the Sovereign AI podcast, developed in collaboration with NVIDIA, Maria Luciana Axente speaks with Karl Havard, Chief Commercial Officer at Nscale about how these foundations are being built in the UK today.Highlights include:How AI growth zones and data centres could become the catalyst to unlock the UK’s stranded renewable energy and feed it back into the national grid.Why sovereignty will only carry weight if enterprises and start-ups commit workloads to sovereign platforms, turning infrastructure into jobs, innovation and national capability.The broader economic and societal impacts of anchoring AI sovereignty in data and infrastructure.This conversation comes as N-Scale, in partnership with NVIDIA, Microsoft and OpenAI, announced the UK’s largest AI supercomputer and the launch of Stargate UK, powered by 58,000 NVIDIA GPUs. A decisive step that shows sovereign AI moving from words to infrastructure.Listen in for a timely and candid discussion about how nations can become AI makers, not takers.
