Navigating Digital Sovereignty for Data & AI in the Cloud

Increasing regulatory pressure, geopolitical tensions. Digital sovereignty is everywhere and there is no one-size-fits-all for modern Data & AI workloads. A defence organization managing sensitive intelligence requires drastically different controls than a global e-commerce platform scaling at high velocity. Businesses must find the right balance between risk appetite, cost, and operational convenience. In this session, we set the stage for building sovereign data platforms and portable AI architectures. We will show you how to navigate different sovereignty levels to help you navigate where to land your platform.Through a practical order-to-cash example, this session explores what this could mean for the future of operations: moving from dashboards and retrospective analysis towards processes that learn, adapt and improve, within clearly defined human and technical boundaries.
