AI sovereignty and shared strengths at WTO’s World Trade and Tech Day

Sakana AI says Ren Ito delivered a keynote at the WTO’s World Trade and Tech Day on September 14, 2026. He framed AI sovereignty as a matter of options rather than ownership, arguing that both trade and AI benefit from combining national strengths instead of keeping everything at home. He also discussed AI’s role in improving infrastructure and logistics efficiency. The company says Ito met with WTO and WIPO leaders during his Geneva trip to discuss AI’s role in international organizations.
