0647 GMT - The intersection between geopolitics and artificial intelligence is now stronger than ever, says Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Antonio Neri. "Governments are all thinking about how to use AI to protect themselves and also to create sovereignty," he tells the WSJ Leadership Institute at Davos, Switzerland, where he has spent days talking with various governments about how to build sovereign AI clouds. Everyone wants to invest in owning parts of the technology stack, which is essential for sovereignty, but at the same time, they don't want to rely on others like China or the U.S., says Neri. "Understandably, they need to work with both at some point, but the reality is that over time, we're going to see more investment locally to own their own destiny." (fabiana.negrinochoa@wsj.com)
