Over the last few years, concerns on digital sovereignty has led to increased activities to control strategic resources, such as data, software, and hardware. Most of the visible examples are in the areas of:

1.  Trade in semiconductors being curtailed (restriction in exporting certain NVDIA chips by US, US?EU de-risking dependencies on Taiwan's TSMC through their respective on-shore chips manufacturing programs)
2️. Discussions over cross-border data transfers (e.g. different nations pushing for data localization, cross-border transfers with allied countries etc.)
3️. Resources linked to cloud computing
4️. Use of open-source software (e.g. China using Gitee vs. Github and actively reducing dependency on foreign-developed source code)

All of the above has increased fragmentation, mistrust, and geopolitical competition, already seen with 5G and increasingly beginning to play out in AI technologies as well (the entire supply chain from chips to models to applications).

Would be interesting to see which path India takes in this whole AI-arms race (in particular) and the technology wars (in general).
