AI Sovereignty Council

What if the future of AI sovereignty isn’t about more data, but about learning to be still? In a 45-minute conversation at UC Berkeley, Michael Pollan and Christof Koch explored how psychedelics reveal that consciousness isn’t a problem to solve — it’s a state to cultivate. The key insight? Real awareness emerges not in constant input, but in the space between. For builders of sovereign AI stacks — those using local LLMs, private RAG, and self-hosted inference — this means the most powerful models won’t be the loudest, but the ones that can sit in silence and reflect.
