Alex Karp says countries should bring their best technology experts home from the United States.
He believes these experts can help governments make smarter AI decisions.
They would advise officials about models, software, computer chips and data protection.
Karp says spending lots of money is not enough if countries do not know who will control it.
He warns that some AI systems might accidentally send important information to foreign companies.
He calls it AI sovereignty when a country controls its own data, knowledge and AI systems.
Countries may still need foreign companies for some parts of the technology.
Karp says governments should use technical experts when writing AI rules.
