OM DENNE EPISODE
Sovereignty, by definition, is being updated. Sovereignty 2.0. Under geopolitical tensions, supply chain dependencies and competing regional regulations, the discussion around digital sovereignty is shaping where you're allowed to build, what models you’re allowed to train on, and who's allowed to see the results.
Competing lines are being drawn. On one side there are those calling for the democratisation of AI and opening the global doors to innovation. On another is a fragmented map of regional regulations, like the strict mandates of the EU AI Act.
Bubbling underneath is the geopolitical chess match, primarily between the US and China, turning data, frontier models and the infrastructure behind them into a matter of national security.
All of this offers up some big questions for governments and businesses. One no bigger than this: Can global enterprise innovation really survive in a world of digital borders?
Joining host Tom Parker is Stéphane Israël, Managing Director of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud and Digital Sovereignty at AWS, alongside Ali Ustun, Senior Partner from McKinsey’s Middle East Office and co-leader of their global Data and AI Foundations Service Line and Dr. Catherine di Lorenzo, Partner at A&O Shearman.
