Presentation: Building sovereign AI: How operators stay in control
This session sets out a practical model for sovereign AI - and what it takes to retain ownership in real-world telecom environments.
More details coming soon.
Panel: Are you really in control of your AI?
As AI ecosystems expand, sovereignty becomes harder to achieve. This panel explores where control is already being lost - and what CSPs must trade off to stay in charge.
This session sets out a practical model for sovereign AI - and what it takes to retain ownership in real-world telecom environments.
- How operators retain control across cloud, edge and partner ecosystems
- Where control breaks down as AI scales-and how to design around it
- What sovereignty looks like across data, models and decisioning layers
- The architectural choices that prevent lock-in and dependency
More details coming soon.
Panel: Are you really in control of your AI?
As AI ecosystems expand, sovereignty becomes harder to achieve. This panel explores where control is already being lost - and what CSPs must trade off to stay in charge.
- Where CSPs are losing control today - and why it’s difficult to avoid
- What you must sacrifice: speed, flexibility or cost
- Whether full sovereignty is realistic in a hyperscaler-driven ecosystem
- At what point control becomes a blocker to innovation
