Vedant Dwivedi, Chief Executive Officer of AndAI, joins host KJ to take on one of the biggest questions in the enterprise AI boom: who owns the intelligence? A former data scientist, Dwivedi defines sovereign AI in one word, ownership, and explains why companies in pharma, banking, and manufacturing want their data, models, and outputs kept inside their own walls. The conversation covers why enterprises are shifting from the cloud back toward on-premise and hybrid setups, how falling infrastructure costs have made sovereignty more affordable, and the Data 1 to Data 7 scale AndAI uses to gauge a company’s AI readiness. Dwivedi also shares why energy sits underneath every AI bottleneck and how AndAI is helping renewable operators get better yield from solar, wind, hydro, and nuclear assets.

Key Takeaways:

8:48 — How did the cloud fall short of its promises to enterprises?

15:33 — When should an enterprise invest in its own GPUs?

23:01 — Who is ready for sovereign AI?
