Show Notes
What does it mean for artificial intelligence to be sovereign? This week, Technology Now explores how more than just data can be sovereign, our AI models using the data can be too. We ask what it actually means for AI models to be sovereign and why companies, and indeed entire countries, would be interested in this concept. Andreas Geiss, Vice-President Automotive & Manufacturing at Aleph Alpha tells us more.
This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Aubrey Lovell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations and what can be learnt from it.
