    The Illusion of AI Sovereignty: Washington and Beijing Still Pull the Strings

    A new wave of digital nationalism is sweeping through public policy and enterprise boardrooms. Countries including France, Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Singapore, and India are doubling down on sovereign AI. They are investing in localized data ecosystems, region-specific LLMs, national AI clouds, and stricter compliance regimes. No nation today enjoys absolute, full-stack AI sovereignty. Rather than chasing total independence, the trend is toward layered sovereignty: choosing which parts of the stack to control, influence, outsource, or codevelop. The sovereign AI game is not binary; it is composable. In the coming decade, national AI strategies will be defined not by what a country builds alone but by what it chooses to own, protect, and shape on its own terms.

    The Future of Software Licensing: The Importance of an Optimal License Model in Divestitures

    When a company spins off a business unit, the spotlight often shines on financials, operations, and IT infrastructure. Yet, hidden within the fine print of software contracts lies a strategic lever that can make or break the success of a divestiture: licensing. In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, where hybrid cloud, SaaS, and AI-driven platforms reign supreme, software licensing has transcended its role as a mere compliance checkbox. It has become a critical enabler of agility, innovation, and cost control. However, many organizations still underestimate the complexity and opportunity embedded in licensing decisions during a carve-out or spin-off.
