Drupal AI Initiative: The countdown is on: sovereignty on the Enterprise AI Summit

The Enterprise AI Summit takes place in one week, on 28 September aboard the SS Rotterdam, and the countdown is a good moment to properly introduce a session that's been on the agenda for a while: sovereign AI with Julien Blanchez.

Digital sovereignty has moved from a policy discussion into a boardroom question. Regulators, procurement teams and public sector organisations are asking the same thing in different ways: can we use world-class AI technology while keeping control over where our data lives, who can access it, and under what conditions?

With over a decade at Google working on data protection, security and digital sovereignty for large, highly regulated organisations, Julien will walk us through what's driving rising sovereignty expectations and how to keep access to leading AI technology on your own terms.

He joins a day full of similar questions answered with real numbers. The European Personnel Selection Office deployed a RAG-powered instant answer engine inside Drupal in under eight weeks, running in all 24 EU official languages, with 90% fewer repeat support questions and zero hallucinations on manual review. The American Diabetes Association will share what happened when editorial teams got real AI tools in their hands, including the honest lessons that came with it. And Moritz Arendt takes on a question that sits right next to Julien's: can AI strengthen digital communities, or does it risk hollowing them out?

With just days left, there’s still time to check the full agenda and save your seat. Tickets and details are available on the Enterprise AI Summit page.
