{"id":"tok_9kCacgM","title":"AI Sovereignty: Dependence on Big Tech? A Growing Problem","description":"Illia talks about how sovereign nations increasingly rely on external AI providers. Potential risks to GDP growth due to this dependency and the challenges open-source models face in monetization and development. #AISovereignty #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #BigTech #GDP #OpenSourceAI #AIModel #Technology #DigitalTransformation #Innovation #NEARprotocol","channel_name":"NEAR Protocol","published_at":"2025-07-11T00:00:00.000Z","thumbnail_url":"https://img.youtube.com/vi/tok_9kCacgM/hqdefault.jpg","transcript_text":"Again there's diff like different sovereign countries effectively now have a kind of dependency on you know those companies providing them with a model with inference with you know product and so if you which I believe AI will be fundamental to like massive growth of GDP now their GDP depends on a external company somewhere else like it's a sovereignty problem like fundamentally so all of these problems you stack them up right then you have Open source. Open source is really cool, you know, but it doesn't have monetization, right? Somebody open sourced the model, everybody's using it. Nobody makes money. So there's no more next generation model. And the only models we have right now are from effective, you know, donation by, you know, few few companies. So user on AAI is really about solving those fundamental problems.","transcript_synced_at":"2026-11-03T04:52:52.809Z","segments":[{"start_seconds":0,"text":"Again there's diff like different sovereign countries effectively now have a kind of dependency on you know those","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tok_9kCacgM&t=0s"},{"start_seconds":8,"text":"companies providing them with a model with inference with you know product and so if you which I believe AI will be","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tok_9kCacgM&t=8s"},{"start_seconds":16,"text":"fundamental to like massive growth of GDP now their GDP depends on a external company somewhere else like it's a","url":"https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tok_9kCacgM&t=16s"},{"start_seconds":24,"text":"sovereignty problem like fundamentally so all of these problems you stack them up right then you have Open source.
