Sovereign AI is designed to keep full control of the chain: open or European models, hosting on a sovereign cloud or On Premise, data that never leaves the chosen legal framework. It addresses confidentiality, compliance and strategic independence.
In practice at Gensai
Gensai designs sovereign architectures end to end, such as the compliance assistant hosted on a sovereign RAG with Mistral.
How to build a sovereign AI?
By checking every link: the model (open or European, such as those from Mistral AI), the hosting (sovereign cloud, client servers or local), the surrounding tools (vector database, orchestration, logging) and the contracts (who accesses the data, for what purpose). Sovereignty depends on the whole chain, not on a single component.
Common mistake
Choosing a European model, then calling it through an API hosted outside Europe, or plugging in an analytics tool that sends conversations abroad. A single link is enough to take data outside the chosen framework.
