As organizations scale AI, one question keeps coming up in AI steering committee conversations: Can we move fast without losing control?
That tension shows up most clearly when AI systems cross borders—touching sensitive data, operating under different regulations, and supporting teams around the world.
Every four to five days, a new regulation targeting AI, cybersecurity, or data privacy is introduced—with more than 1,000 global policy initiatives across 69 countries, and 100-plus nations enforcing privacy laws.1
In 2026, digital sovereignty is about managing risk, so you can scale AI using the tools and environments your business depends on as sovereignty requirements evolve. To maintain global velocity while managing risk, your steering committee should answer this fundamental question:
Can we meet localized requirements—controlling where data is processed, who can access systems, and how operations continue during disruptions—without additional complexity as requirements evolve?
To help leaders navigate these challenges, we offer a practical guide: Grow Your Business with AI You Can Trust. This guide provides a grounded approach to navigating sovereignty decisions in real environments, covering governance, operational control, and responsible AI deployment without adding unnecessary complexity.
Sovereignty rarely shows up as a single requirement. If you’re scaling AI, you’re likely encountering it through a small set of recurring scenarios—often as you expand across regions, partners, and regulatory environments:
One example shows how these scenarios come together in practice.
Raiffeisen Bank International developed an internal generative AI assistant, using Microsoft Foundry to help employees summarize legal, regulatory, and banking documents and retrieve information more quickly. The platform supports employees across the bank’s operations in multiple European markets, helping staff resolve customer requests faster and focus on higher-value work.
Used by more than 20,000 employees, the solution provides faster access to critical information while supporting the bank’s regulatory and operational requirements across jurisdictions—without compromising safeguards.
Use the guide to align your AI steering committee on these critical checkpoints:
As AI becomes core to how your business operates, sovereignty moves from a technical consideration to a leadership one. Our e-book guide can help you understand sovereignty scenarios and principles to help your steering committee take the next step—clearly, confidently, and at scale.
