Sovereign AI: The Global Power Race—and Why It All Leads Back to Taiwan

If every nation wants to be an AI superpower… who actually controls the keys?

Every country wants its own AI.

It’s called Sovereign AI — the idea that true national independence in the next industrial era depends on owning your own AI stack, not renting it from Silicon Valley.

But here’s the catch: building it means navigating an impossible supply chain controlled by a handful of players — Nvidia, TSMC, and ASML.

In this week’s Inside Taiwan, I break down the global race for AI sovereignty — and why every road leads back to Taiwan:

🔹 How TSMC became the single most critical player in the global AI arms race.
🔹 Why Nvidia’s moat isn’t just hardware — it’s the software empire behind CUDA.
🔹 The trillion-dollar paradox: nations chasing independence while relying on the same bottlenecks.
🔹 And how AI’s economic model crisis is forcing even OpenAI to rethink its principles.
