Session Abstract
As AI becomes embedded in core business operations, organisations are increasingly asking what it means to retain control over their data, models, and outcomes. “Sovereign AI” is emerging not just as a policy concept, but as a practical business priority, focused on ownership, security, compliance, and long-term value creation.
What you'll walk away with:
• A practical understanding of what Sovereign AI means for control over data, models and decision-making
• Clarity on the key trade-offs: sensitive data, vendor lock-in, and regulatory and governance demands
• How leading organisations balance innovation with control to drive long-term value
