The founder of Pegasus spyware has publicly urged governments around the world to invest in and build their own sovereign artificial intelligence capabilities. The call highlights growing concerns over digital autonomy, state-level cybersecurity, and the strategic risks of relying on external tech ecosystems.
Developing sovereign AI would allow nation-states to maintain control over their domestic data, defense models, and intelligence operations. As AI becomes deeply integrated into surveillance, defense, and operating systems like Android and iOS, advocates argue that state-managed models are vital to national security.
Pegasus, which gained global notoriety for its ability to remotely compromise mobile devices, placed surveillance tech at the center of international privacy and security debates. The founder's new push toward sovereign AI reflects an evolving focus on state-driven digital infrastructure in a rapidly advancing tech landscape.
