Panel Discussion: Sovereign AI: Building Bridges in a Fragmented Landscape - Anna Hermansen, Hilary Carter, Cailean Osborne & Adrienn Lawson, The Linux Foundation; Anni Lai, Futurewei

Friday August 29, 2025 15:35 - 16:00 CEST

Auditorium

The term “Sovereign AI" has sparked discussion around the future of AI and the role of open source in this trend. Cities, nation-states, and private and public organizations are interested in “sovereign" AI infrastructure as a way to build localized, relevant, and privacy-preserving solutions. LF Research, LF AI & Data, and Futurewei have partnered on a research study to explore this phenomenon, its motivations, challenges, and implications, and the role of open source in this context. In this session, we will discuss the key findings from the study’s webinar series and industry survey, reviewing the insights captured from technology leaders, practitioners, and decision-makers across companies, government agencies, and institutions actively working with AI. The panelists will present study results showing how and why organizations are implementing Responsible AI across different regions, standards and protocols needed to connect sovereign AI systems, and practical ways open source technologies are helping bridge separate AI ecosystems. We will also share concrete evidence on how organizations balance technological sovereignty with ongoing global collaboration.
