Notes

Abstract

In this talk, we'll explore the hot debated terminology and meaning around "sovereign AI". We'll look at what the major AI vendors say, what open source communities are producing and how EU stakeholders, politicians and activists are navigating the debate. At the end, we'll address significant open questions and calls for action as to how to better create and support open-source, private and secure AI systems.
