Sovereign AI: Navigating EU Data Residency in 2026

For AI engineers, the choice of infrastructure is shifting from 'where is the cheapest H100' to 'where is my data legally allowed to live.' As the EU AI Act enters full enforcement in 2026, data residency has become a hard technical constraint rather than a legal checkbox.
