Alistair Pullen notes that the recent ban of 'Fable' due to export controls has accelerated discussions around sovereign AI. He links this to Cosine AI's expertise in model training and building, which enabled them to pursue the sovereign AI mandate.
“And I was horrified as many were when Fable suddenly um got banned.”
“because of this export control. And now everyone suddenly is thinking about sovereign AI.”
“So, well, it it ties into, it ties into a bunch of different things. um it ties into like the backstory of Co sign and one of the reasons we're fortunate to be able to do sovereign AI is that we have a lot of expertise around model training, model building, um all of the infra, algorithms, data, people that you need to do that kind of thing.”
