Episode No country left behind with sovereign AI
Ryan welcomes Stephen Watt, distinguished engineer and VP of Red Hat’s Office of the CTO, to chat about digital sovereignty and sovereign AI. They explore major infrastructure constraints for things like power, cooling, and scarce hardware that cause the regional disparities we see in sovereign AI, plus why we need to extend Kubernetes and integrate PyTorch Stack not just for a sovereign cloud but for sovereign AI.
Episode notes:
Red Hat’s Office of the CTO is a division of 150 software engineers and researchers working on their Research and Emerging Technologies arms, helping to shape the vision and strategy of Red Hat’s technology.

Congrats to user Ittiel for winning a Populist badge on their answer to Print timestamps in Docker Compose logs.
