Sovereign AI in the EU
Europe is at a turning point in the development and use of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As a European service provider, we at schnell.digital are committed to ensuring that AI in Europe is not only innovative and powerful but also sovereign, trustworthy, and compliant with data protection regulations. Our mission is to support companies in implementing AI solutions that meet the high standards of security and ethical principles in the EU.
Data Protection as the Top Priority
Data protection is non-negotiable in Europe. The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) sets global standards and defines clear guidelines for handling personal data. However, our approach goes beyond mere compliance with legal requirements.
Privacy-First Approach
We adopt a consistent privacy-first approach, where the protection of personal data is at the core. We achieve this through:
- Anonymization and Pseudonymization: Sensitive data is processed in such a way that it cannot be traced back to individuals, either directly or indirectly.
- Minimization of Data Risks: Through targeted security measures, we reduce potential points of attack and ensure data integrity.
Hosting and Operation within the EU
Our AI solutions are hosted on servers within the EU to meet the highest data security standards. This measure ensures that all data is subject to strict European regulations and protected from unauthorized access.
Local and Open-Source AI Models
The sovereignty of AI begins with control over the technologies used. We support companies in implementing local AI models that can be operated within their own infrastructure. Examples like MistralAI demonstrate that European innovations can compete on a global scale.
Benefits of Local Solutions
- Maximum Control: Companies retain full control over their data and can tailor security measures to their needs.
- Data Security: By operating locally, all sensitive information remains within the company.
- Flexibility: Local models can be more easily adapted to industry-specific requirements.
Open-Source Approach
Wherever possible, we use open-source components and models. These approaches offer:
- Transparency: Open source code allows for complete insight into the functionality of the technologies.
- Independence: Companies can free themselves from proprietary solutions and implement measures autonomously.
- Innovation: The large open-source community ensures continuous development and improvements.
Our Contribution to Trustworthy AI
As a European service provider, we fully support the idea of trustworthy data handling and the sovereignty of AI models in Europe. These principles guide our work and our vision:
- Responsibility: We design AI solutions that are both ethical and sustainable.
- Partnership: Together with our customers, we develop measures that create long-term benefits and minimize risks.
- Innovation at the European Level: We rely on European technologies and contribute to strengthening Europe’s technological independence.
