Milan, October 16 (askanews) – Tech giant Nvidia has launched a Swedish supercomputer in Stockholm that uses its company's chips. The machine, called Sferical One and owned by companies such as AstraZeneca, Ericsson, and Saab, aims to keep sensitive Swedish data and expertise within the country. This is a key issue for the future of countries, emphasized CEO Jensen Huang. "There are many companies and many countries that need to control their own artificial intelligence.
There are a few fundamental reasons why this is necessary. First, control your own data: think of Sweden's sovereignty and the artificial intelligence that collects and codifies your culture, your intelligence, your people, your past, and, hopefully, your future,” he explained. “Data is part of your natural resources.
You own it, there's no reason why you should export the data to import AI: it doesn't make much sense." This is an issue that doesn't just concern individual states. "Over time, every single company will become an AI company. Every sector will be transformed by AI. As far as we're concerned, it's crucial to recognize that Europe must develop the entire technological infrastructure."
