Sovereign cloud won’t fix your AI risk. Identity governance will

Sovereign cloud (cloud infrastructure located in a specific country or region to comply with data residency laws) alone does not guarantee the control that enterprises expect over their AI workloads, despite regulatory pressure in Europe and increasing scrutiny in the US. The real control point lies in identity governance (managing who can access what resources and under what circumstances) and related infrastructure layers like encryption key management, access logging, and workload identity management, not just where data is physically stored.
