AI is becoming the company's infrastructure. The question is no longer whether you'll use it, but where your data will live when you do.
The default reflex is rarely the right one
Most AI projects start on the big US platforms. It's fast, it's powerful, but your business data, internal exchanges and trade secrets then transit outside France, often outside Europe.
For a leader, delegating your intelligence without controlling where it resides means outsourcing part of your strategy.
Sovereignty doesn't mean giving up
People often pit sovereignty against performance. That's wrong. Today you can:
- deploy state-of-the-art models on French sovereign cloud (Scaleway, OVH);
- keep GDPR compliance by design, not as a patch;
- retain control of your data without sacrificing the quality of use cases.
What I stand for
- Data first. We map what's sensitive before choosing a technology.
- The right level of sovereignty. Not everything needs the same protection: we arbitrate by use case.
- Proof through usage. A sovereign POC that runs beats a promise of compliance.
Sovereignty isn't a slogan: it's an architecture, hosting choices and discipline. That's exactly where I come in.
