An employee pastes an internal contract into an AI tool to get a quick summary. A few seconds later, the summary is ready. The organisation, however, has no idea where the contract ended up, who can access it, or whether it will be used to train the next model. This is what digital sovereignty looks like in practice today. Knowing where your data is stored is no longer enough. Data now flows into models, passes through APIs and becomes part of generated outputs. And dependency doesn’t stop at the cloud: an organisation can also be locked into a specific model, licence or an entire technology ecosystem. The presentation will show what questions to ask before deploying an AI service and how to keep track of who processes your data and how. We will also look at how to keep the option to switch providers. Real-world examples will show solutions that make this possible today.
