Joelle Pineau on Why Sovereign AI Just Got Real // AI Inside #133

Days after the US government forced Anthropic to pull Mythos 5 and Fable 5 offline, Cohere Chief AI Officer Joelle Pineau joins Jason Howell to react. The former Meta FAIR leader makes the case for sovereign AI, models that enterprises run on their own terms, on-premise and under their control, and explains why the shutdown was a wake-up call for everyone depending on a single provider.

Also in this conversation: why Cohere open-sourced its North Mini Code model, what stops an agent from taking an action it shouldn't, how AI is changing entry-level work, and where AI actually belongs in medicine and drug discovery.
