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. 
  • 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 
Case study: Staying in control in production: What it takes when AI is live
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
