AI Sovereignty from the Global Majority
summary
Global Majority claims focus on concrete levers: cloud is the stack with AWS/Azure/Google holding ~65% of market power, African hosting at ~2% (≈250 data centers) and Uruguay’s Antel running 2 of 3 national centers. Examples include Netflix relying on AWS, Chile’s heat‑map zoning for data centers, Brazil’s tax breaks to attract hosting, and Worldcoin’s Kenya biometric sweep paid ~$48. Policy levers named are data governance, regional data embassies, compute capacity, digital public infrastructure, electricity/raw materials, literacy and cybersecurity to escape twin extractivism.
