According to the press release, Utopia stands for unstoppable, tamperproof, open, platforms for independent autonomy.
Utopia will enable artificial intelligence (AI) to run securely, allow native management of digital assets, and “allow governments to attain sovereignty.”&nbsp;
Dominic Williams, founder and chief scientist at Dfinity Foundation, elaborated on the purpose of the platform in the press release. He said:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 “UTOPIA reinvents compute by solving for the greatest IT challenges of our time: cybersecurity, resilience, IT productivity and sovereignty.”

<h2 data-ct-non-breakable="true" id="government-sovereignty">Government sovereignty</h2>
Dfinity’s Utopia aims to help governments attain sovereignty through AI, but the recent lack of digital asset guidance suggests governments might not be ready or willing to fully embrace the technology.

In the press release, Williams poses Utopia as the solution for government sovereignty:
<blockquote data-ct-non-breakable="true">
 ”Governments are wary of cloud services as they must surrender sensitive data to them. UTOPIA offers a solution by enabling them to operate next-generation private sovereign clouds over home-country hardware that have game-changing security properties.”
