Data sovereignty: why it matters
In a world where Big Tech controls AI, data sovereignty is essential for European organisations.
Risks of Big Tech dependency
American tech giants dominate AI, bringing underestimated risks.
Surveillance & access
The CLOUD Act and FISA 702 allow US government data access, even for EU-stored data.
Data as business model
Big Tech monetises your data through training, ads and product development.
Vendor lock-in
Once dependent on Big Tech, you're subject to their pricing and roadmap.
Lack of transparency
Closed-source models offer no insight into how they work or use data.
The IntraGPT approach
Data sovereignty, open models and European values.

Open-weight models
