Businesses: how to choose an expert, sovereign AI?

Productivity gains are a given; they no longer set offers apart. Choosing an artificial intelligence now involves three governance issues: evidence, sovereignty and ownership of what the machine learns.

Evidence
An answer that commits you must be traced back to its source — document, page, version — and must know to stay silent when it does not know.
Sovereignty
It is not just a matter of where the servers are: data, processing and models must all stay under control.
Ownership
A pooled model learns for all its users, competitors included. The question is who benefits from that learning.
