This executive-level session explores how digital sovereignty is redefining the future of financial services in the era of artificial intelligence. As banks, central banks, insurers, and FinTech institutions increasingly rely on AI-driven decision-making, cloud platforms, cross-border data flows, and automated risk engines, sovereignty over data, models, infrastructure, and algorithms becomes a strategic necessity—not a technical option.
The program examines global best practices and real-world financial use cases, highlighting how leading institutions are balancing regulatory compliance, AI innovation, operational resilience, and economic competitiveness. Participants will gain a strategic lens to assess sovereignty risks while identifying new opportunities for value creation, trust, and sustainable growth.
By the end of the session, participants will be able to:
1. Understand digital sovereignty as a strategic financial capability, not an IT concept.
2. Identify sovereignty risks related to AI models, cloud dependency, and cross-border data.
3. Align AI adoption with financial regulations, data residency, and risk frameworks.
4. Evaluate opportunities for sovereign AI, trusted finance, and resilient financial ecosystems.
5. Develop an executive-level decision framework for AI governance in financial services.
