The Internet Is Breaking... Can $ICP Save It? We sit down with Dominic Williams, founder of @dfinity, to explore the future of the internet, AI, Big Tech, and ICP's ambitious vision to change everything. teapawt.net/i/broadcasts/1yJAPwjqz…
Control over cloud infrastructure is becoming a boardroom issue, and two pressures are driving it.
Geopolitical tension means governments want certainty that foreign powers cannot access their data or cut off their infrastructure.
And AI is taking a growing role in building and running online services, on infrastructure designed for human developers and sysadmins.
Erika Masako Welch's article in @EntMagazineME brings both front and centre, following Dominic Williams and cloud engines on the Internet Computer.

“Every era of computing has a fight over who controls the infrastructure. In the AI era, that fight is about sovereignty: who owns the hardware a country or company runs on, who can see its data, and who can pull the plug.”
With this observation, Erika Masako Welch, Chief Content Officer of @LucidityInsight, explores how sovereign cloud becomes a strategic priority as governments and businesses confront their dependence on digital infrastructure.
In her analysis, Welch describes two forces driving this shift: geopolitical tensions that raise concerns over foreign access to data and infrastructure, and AI's growing role in building and running online services. For organizations that rely on cloud platforms to operate, control over that infrastructure becomes a boardroom issue.
At the center is the DFINITY Foundation's (@dfinity) Internet Computer, an open network that combines computing resources across data centers to host software and data. Its cloud engines allow organizations to choose the hardware supporting their services and change that configuration as their needs evolve.
Welch highlights founder Dominic Williams' claim that enterprises can move from hyperscaler computing resources to dedicated hardware in their home countries “without interrupting or even degrading the services you are running.”

Once cloud engines reach general release, Dominic Williams expects the fastest growth among startups, "because startups are flexible and have a huge incentive to be smarter and more efficient."
In Welch's article, Dominic also expects network effects, since software on one cloud engine is interoperable with software on others, subject to permissions, which he compares to a key dynamic behind early internet growth.

"Sovereignty is important. Security is important. But maybe for a consumer, they don't understand that as well."
So Dr. Sohail Munir and the Pakistan Digital Authority are building ChatT around what a citizen uses day to day: the national digital ID, Raast for bank-to-bank payments, and the government services super app. AI chat is already in, because the platform is AI-native. All of it is easier to deliver inside this platform than through another company's APIs.

Update - OISY 2.6.3
OISY now lets you top up any canister with your TCYCLES and adds LI.FI to your swap providers.
Compute, from your wallet to any canister:
Since 2.6 you can turn ICP into TCYCLES and hold compute in your wallet. Now you can use it to keep a canister running.
On the TCYCLES page, press Top up, paste the canister ID and choose an amount. OISY checks the canister exists first, and the canister gets the cycles. You don't need a command line, and you don't need to be the canister's controller.
LI.FI - more ways to swap:
LI.FI's offers now show up next to Velora and NEAR Intents, with routes across Ethereum, Arbitrum, Base, BNB Smart Chain, Polygon and Robinhood Chain, and on to Solana.
OISY reads every LI.FI swap before you approve it and only offers it if it pays you the token you asked for, at least the minimum shown. And when there's no direct swap it can check, OISY can suggest two, through one token in between.
Closer checks before you approve:
OISY now reviews WalletConnect requests more closely on Solana, Bitcoin and EVM networks. Signing out also clears the permissions you gave connected apps.
And as always, many more quality of life improvements
Double-click your balance to hide it, and swaps in progress now follow you across devices.

DFINITY was in attendance at the Dubai AI Festival, over the last two days.
@dominic_w presented 'Sovereign Cloud for the AI Era', and the festival's official report was published, The State of AI 2026, which came out with DFINITY's participation.
The report includes an article on Dominic and the Internet Computer's cloud engines.
Here's our round up of the last two days from @DubaiAIFest.
Dominic goes on to touch on the subject of AI.
Making the point that AI-powered hackers are making traditional compute infrastructure increasingly insecure, and that tamperproof software helps fix that.
He added that it matters when AI builds and updates services, which it can do at the speed of conversation.
On stacks that are not tamperproof, he said, security and sysadmin teams have to stay in the loop, and that slows production down a lot.
