Last call for The Register’s data sovereignty dinner in Washington
The Register is holding a dinner with HPE and NVIDIA in Washington on Thursday, 29 October, for leaders considering sovereign AI in regulated industries. The discussion is intended to address how organisations can control where data is held and who can access it, while meeting audit requirements.
Editor-in-chief Matt Rosoff will chair a no-slides, no-recording discussion under the Chatham House Rule, with representatives from both companies taking questions. The agenda includes infrastructure choices, costs and performance in production; places are by invitation for technology, data and risk leaders across sectors including healthcare, finance and government. Dinner runs from 6pm to 8.30pm at Fiola Mare, and public-sector guests may pay their own share where required by ethics rules.
In short
- HPE and NVIDIA join a Washington dinner on sovereign AI.
- Discussion covers data boundaries, costs and production readiness.
- Places are by invitation on 29 October.
Explained simply
Sovereign AI refers to artificial intelligence systems run with rules about where data is stored and who can access it. These controls can matter to organisations handling sensitive information, such as hospitals, banks and government departments.
Organisations must weigh those controls against the cost and performance of the systems they use. They may also need to show auditors that data access and handling meet legal or internal requirements.
The Register is a technology news site, while HPE and NVIDIA provide computing infrastructure and AI technology. Their representatives are due to discuss these practical questions with invited technology, data and risk leaders.
