1. Cohere Publishes IDC InfoBrief on Sovereign AI Adoption

Cohere. Cohere released an IDC InfoBrief it commissioned on the state of sovereign AI adoption in 2026, based on a survey of more than 500 senior AI decision-makers at enterprises with over $1 billion in annual revenue across Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Germany. The study, fielded from April to May 2026, spanned regulated sectors including healthcare and life sciences, financial services, public sector, energy, manufacturing, and telecommunications. Among the findings, one in three leaders had difficulty describing sovereign AI in their own words, pointing to a gap between rising urgency and organizational understanding. Source
