Roundtable | Sovereign AI: How Much Control Is Enough?
As AI becomes central to how governments and private institutions operate, sovereignty is becoming a strategic priority across both the public and private sectors. This roundtable will explore what Sovereign AI means in practice, from control over data and infrastructure to jurisdiction, models and external dependencies. Participants will discuss how organisations can balance sovereignty with speed, cost and innovation, and ultimately ask: how sovereign do they really need to be? ** Please note: Space is limited to 19 seats and is available on a first-come, first-served basis.
