TechByte: Digital Sovereignty in the age of AI 2025 | Google Cloud | 12 May 2025 | Webinar

This session is ideal for all senior leaders considering digital transformations and AI accelerations, to better understand how the current geopolitical situation impacts their choice of technology.

At Google, we have been committed to delivering sovereign controls for a while : almost three years ago, we announced ‘Cloud. On Europe’s Terms’. We brought together our engineering & product teams to think deeply about and start delivering specific controls for our cloud solutions, while also developing deep collaboration with domestic technology and delivery partners. And today we have several Sovereign Solutions Partners and dozens of sensitive or highly regulated customers using “Google Sovereign Cloud” to process sensitive workloads and data sets on Google Cloud.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is fundamentally reshaping the global technological landscape, and with it, the concept of digital sovereignty. While digital sovereignty has always been driven by concerns about data control, economic dependency, and survivability, the rise of AI has added a fourth crucial dimension: cultural relevance.

• Google Sovereign Cloud’s approach - data sovereignty, operational sovereignty and software sovereignty
• The drivers of digital sovereignty
• How organisations can collaborate with global tech providers to achieve the right balance of AI innovation and digital sovereignty
