Zero Trust security and AI also are intersecting . Zero Trust architectures are the best path to a better , more secure world and implementing Zero Trust in brownfield legacy IT is hard . In contrast , AI infrastructure is new and greenfield . We expect customers to adopt Zero Trust by default in new AI factories for optimal security . Given the criticality of AI , which is a good thing for all of us .
Sovereign AI accelerates global adoption
Sovereign AI efforts are accelerating AI adoption worldwide . This concept revolves around a nation ' s ability to create AI value and differentiation using its own infrastructure and data , designing an ecosystem aligned with local culture , language and intellectual property . In an era where data security is paramount , countries are opting for sovereign AI strategies and solutions , often with strong collaboration between the public and private sectors .
Instead of AI systems exclusive to governments , some countries are developing national AI resources to serve both government and local private industry , providing access to compute power and data capacity . Others are implementing a coherent national strategy where governments do not necessarily build new infrastructure but instead proactively and collaboratively co-design and encourage private industry to modernise and lead AI ecosystems .
Sovereign AI empowers nations to increase accessibility , protect critical infrastructure , drive economic growth , and enhance global competitiveness . By fostering the development of AI , it accelerates its adoption . We are seeing growing investments directed toward infrastructure , data management , talent cultivation , and ecosystem development – and we fully expect to see this trend continue in the years ahead .
In 2025 , we predict enterprise AI adoption will accelerate dramatically in the coming year . We are seeing better processes , better tools and a stronger ecosystem . For CIOs , staying informed and adaptable will be essential . Organisations must prioritise AI fluency , invest in talent development and explore innovative solutions to remain at the forefront of this tech revolution . p
