Dr. Pierre Alexandre Fischer

The world is more fragmented yet interconnected than ever. As governments and organizations shorten supply chains and prioritize domestic control, the mandate for "strategic leverage" has reached the boardroom. This session explores how the Snowflake AI Data Cloud supports these goals through Snowflake Horizon, our unified governance and compliance suite. We discuss how building on open standards such as Apache Iceberg ensures autonomy without technology lock-in, and how a secure data foundation is the vital precursor to semantic AI, in a sovereign and compliant way. Join us to learn how to train and deploy "sovereign by design" models that meet the rigorous expectations of the UK and EU. This session is being conducted under Chatham House Rules. To foster an open and candid discussion, participants are expected to treat all information shared during the session as confidential. Information, comments, viewpoints, and materials discussed may not be referenced, disclosed, attributed, distributed, or shared outside of this session without the express permission of the organizers and participants.
