Middle powers such as Canada, the EU, Japan, South Korea, and France are intensifying efforts to establish AI sovereignty and reduce reliance on the US and China. Canada and Germany have formed a "sovereign technology alliance" and are facilitating Cohere's acquisition of Germany's Aleph Alpha to mitigate dependency on critical technologies. The Netherlands has launched the "AI Delta Plan" and a €200 million "AI Factory" to emphasize technological sovereignty and ethical research. South Korea aims to become one of the top three AI powers, setting a national goal to increase its AI budget to 9.9 trillion won by 2026, focusing on large models, autonomous GPUs, and data centers. Meanwhile, countries like Estonia and Greece are integrating AI on a large scale to protect their languages and cultures from being marginalized in the digital space.
