## Quote — verbatim

> I do not want my financial data to leave my house, or my family's financial data, or my family's health data... Is there a world where I can have sovereign AI without compromising my privacy and still get the benefits of AI? That's the world I want to build towards.

## Context — site annotation, not spoken

Prompted by his own tax-preparation frustrations; ties Akash's mission to sovereignty over data, compute, and cost — the clearest local/personal-AI statement in this interview.
