ABOUT THIS EVENT

You have spent years getting data sovereignty right: jurisdiction, residency, contractual control over where information rests. That work holds. It no longer covers the part of your estate that is growing fastest.

You can hold every byte inside the EU and still have almost no control over your AI:

  • The weights belong to someone else.

  • The version shifts beneath a system that passed its evaluations last quarter.

  • Core processes run through black-box models you cannot inspect, reproduce, or easily leave.

  • Pricing and access remain entirely at the discretion of a third party.

Data sovereignty asks where your information sits. AI sovereignty asks the harder question: when the model changes, the commercial terms shift, or a regulator asks why, can you still explain what your systems did, keep them running, and change your mind?

Thoughtworks Chief Data & AI Officer Shayan Mohanty will share practical insights and demonstrate how Thoughtworks’ Agent/works platform operationalizes AI sovereignty. You will see how policy-based routing, strict data boundary enforcement, and end-to-end decision auditability keep autonomous workflows compliant, secure, and under your control.

This breakfast event brings together senior technology and data leaders to address what sovereignty requires once AI runs inside processes with real consequences, and how to make it a strategic leverage point rather than a compliance tax.

WHO IS IN THE ROOM

Senior technology and data leadership in Spanish enterprises: Closed and peer-level by design; no recording, no slides, no vendor pitch. You come to compare positions with people carrying the same decisions, and you leave with a sharper view of where your own exposure sits.

WHY ATTEND

Common Sense Events uses a conversational, story-telling approach designed for peer learning. Every participant’s voice shapes the discussion – no recording, no slides, no pitch decks.
