Control over cloud infrastructure is becoming a boardroom issue, and two pressures are driving it.
Geopolitical tension means governments want certainty that foreign powers cannot access their data or cut off their infrastructure.
And AI is taking a growing role in building and running online services, on infrastructure designed for human developers and sysadmins.
Erika Masako Welch's article in @EntMagazineME brings both front and centre, following Dominic Williams and cloud engines on the Internet Computer.

“Every era of computing has a fight over who controls the infrastructure. In the AI era, that fight is about sovereignty: who owns the hardware a country or company runs on, who can see its data, and who can pull the plug.”
With this observation, Erika Masako Welch, Chief Content Officer of @LucidityInsight, explores how sovereign cloud becomes a strategic priority as governments and businesses confront their dependence on digital infrastructure.
In her analysis, Welch describes two forces driving this shift: geopolitical tensions that raise concerns over foreign access to data and infrastructure, and AI's growing role in building and running online services. For organizations that rely on cloud platforms to operate, control over that infrastructure becomes a boardroom issue.
At the center is the DFINITY Foundation's (@dfinity) Internet Computer, an open network that combines computing resources across data centers to host software and data. Its cloud engines allow organizations to choose the hardware supporting their services and change that configuration as their needs evolve.
Welch highlights founder Dominic Williams' claim that enterprises can move from hyperscaler computing resources to dedicated hardware in their home countries “without interrupting or even degrading the services you are running.”

$ICP fam, part 5 of the series is out.
This time looking into canisters: what they are, how they work, and why canisters will swallow the whole world.

Pakistan wants AI infrastructure it can control.
Its Digital Authority is discussing a sovereign AI Factory with DFINITY, using ICP-based cloud infrastructure to build government software.
Here's the bigger opportunity for $ICP.
Governments increasingly want AI without surrendering control of their data and infrastructure to foreign cloud providers.
But the real victory won't be another agreement. It'll be government applications running in production.

In the report, Dominic and his team describe cloud engines as an open evolution of cloud for an era in which enterprises want sovereignty and platforms that play better with AI.
Dominic lays out his vision plainly for cloud engines, explaining how an enterprise can choose the compute nodes behind its own cloud, from independent data center hardware, virtual nodes on hyperscaler clouds, and on-prem machines.
Check out the article on pages 45 - 48.

DFINITY was in attendance at the Dubai AI Festival, over the last two days.
@dominic_w presented 'Sovereign Cloud for the AI Era', and the festival's official report was published, The State of AI 2026, which came out with DFINITY's participation.
The report includes an article on Dominic and the Internet Computer's cloud engines.
Here's our round up of the last two days from @DubaiAIFest.

This was the first time DFINITY attended an AI event, but it's just the start. Thank you to the organizers for a great time. I explained the way that the Internet Computer | ICP now provides the ultimate agentic infrastructure, and it was tremendously well received, with some stunning follow-ups (more details in time). At the end my keynote, I gave out an email where you can apply for cloud engine coupons — and we're already seeing a steady stream of applications from that audience. The Internet Computer remains the first network creating genuine impact in the mainstream world, and the potential is unlimited.

Every crypto payment leaves a public trail.
Send 60 $ICP and anyone with the address can see it, track where it goes next, and check your balance like a read receipt for your money.
Send from Private in Menese and the same payment stays off the public record. Nobody can follow it or look up what you hold.
Private ICP is live now. Private BTC and USDC are coming.
Businesses can add private checkout and treasury with the Menese Privacy SDK: github.com/Menese-Protocol/M…

DFINITY founder Dominic Williams says Internet Computer cloud engines give enterprises "complete freedom from vendor and location lock-in."
DFINITY says it has spent more than $500M building the network, with Pakistan the first nation state deploying it and UNDP piloting it in its country offices.

Firstly, there were two patents on the algorithm they took, one was issued *beginning* of this year. We want license fees at the least. Sorry to those that liked my previous post, I reworded this to be more precise. If they knew about the patent applications, then license fees could be recoverable from the beginning of their use of the proprietary tech (~2+ years) not from earlier this year.
There are some things that point in that direction in my view, e.g. 1) GitHub posts like this, note what's in the quotes, which I read like pre-emptive non-infringement positioning github.com/near/mpc_old/pull… (the algo of course re-uses the invention with a minor tweak that make it less secure), and 2) they had hired a senior DFINITY engineering manager in April 2022, who I feel would have known full well about DFINITY efforts to patent major works. We need that Google doc referenced by that GitHub pull request; NEAR if you're reading this, deleting evidence won't be helpful, maybe you'd like to voluntarily share this.
Secondly, it looks to us like their Confidential Key Derivation is basically derived from the vetKeys paper, and maybe they looked at our Rust implementation too. That wasn't patented, but completely wrong to go around passing off hard and substantial work by very serious cryptographers as your own, and also completely ridiculous. I'm sure Ilia is a more serious guy than that. We are not anti-NEAR, but this is obviously too much and has to be addressed. Note as well that passing off a competitor's academic work as your own to gain an advantage also transgresses various other laws around the world. But anyway, if this is what has happened, I'm sure Ilia, as a supporter of open source, will want proper credits and references to be added, and for their CKD article to explain where the math came from.
We're busy but will be contacting them, first to try and resolve this amicably. Meanwhile, they also need to think hard about who they choose as friends. Some of the people that came after us for them are absolutely freaky and the worst web3 has to offer. Notably, we've heard no denial, nor apology.

🚨HUGE FOR $ICP: DFINITY is in HIGH-LEVEL talks with Pakistan's Digital Authority to build a sovereign AI Factory for government technology!
Internet Computer and @dfinity founder Dominic Williams met with senior officials to discuss developing AI-powered government applications and national digital infrastructure.
This follows their earlier MoU, with Pakistan's sovereign cloud model also gaining UNDP recognition!
From AI to government infrastructure, ICP is positioning itself for adoption on a NATIONAL scale!
