Global Sovereign AI Webinar

The Global Sovereign AI Opportunity: Exploring the Impact of Open Source in Public and Private Sector Sovereign AI Innovation and Competitiveness

Inspired by the emergence of DeepSeek to change the innovation landscape, this study will deploy both qualitative and quantitative methodologies to engage technology stakeholders and strategists to better understand sovereign AI trends and opportunities within and beyond the nation-state context. It will explore the extent to which leaders across government (federal, state/provincial, municipal) and enterprise (Fortune 500, SMEs, startups) are adopting open source AI technologies to create sovereign AI systems that are uniquely tailored to the entities’ use cases to achieve competitive advantage and business value, and give an understanding of related barriers to implementation (computational resources, datasets, team member skills, ethics, and standards).

LF AI & Data is hosting a three-part webinar series across different time zones to engage a global audience on this important topic. Moderated by Hilary Carter of LF Research and Anni Lai of Futurewei, each webinar will host 4-5 panelists with expertise on AI and open source technologies.
