Maintaining European Sovereignty while Deploying AI

The increasing complexity of US sanctions and laws is posing a significant threat to EU enterprises, with unintended consequences such as "accidental Americans" being denied access to services. To insulate themselves from US interference, companies must prioritize risk mitigation measures at the board level. This presentation will explore the implications of US sanctions and laws on EU businesses, and discuss the best practices for ensuring continuity and compliance with EU regulations, such as the DORA requirements. 

Join Thomas Hufener, CEO and co-founder of Kaiko, for a discussion on Europe's challenge to achieve AI sovereignty in healthcare. With medical professionals increasingly relying on global AI platforms like ChatGPT, Europe faces a critical choice: continue down the path of dependence or develop secure, compliant, and sovereign AI solutions tailored specifically to European standards and values. Discover how Kaiko is addressing this by building secure, multimodal AI systems that integrate clinical text, imaging, and genomic data—supporting clinical decision-making and oncology research within Europe's regulatory framework.

Recent advances in machine learning have raised significant trust-related concerns, including issues like black-box models, hallucinations, and the erosion of scientific credibility through practices like paper mills. ML also poses risks to privacy, security, and legal/ethical standards, such as GDPR and data equitability. Simply having data does not guarantee its reuse, especially when most data fails to meet FAIR (Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable) principles. Classical data sharing often leads to loss of control, whereas 'data visiting' allows algorithms to access data without moving it, reducing many associated risks. For this to work, data must also be Federated and AI-Ready, with rich metadata enabling machine-actionable use. Finally, immutable logging is essential, particularly when using self-learning or swarm-learning systems.

Nebul's European Private & Sovereign AI Cloud provides world-class AI supercomputing and GPU accelerated business computing services while ensuring EU data sovereignty, privacy and compliance. One of the services, Private GPT, is the European compliant alternative to ChatGPT, built for European organizations who want to allow their teams to use AI, connected to their data, safely and securely, with better quality and accuracy than ChatGPT
