Episode 1

Does Europe need its own AI - or is ChatGPT good enough?

It’s a question many European IT leaders are asking: do we need our own AI models, or can we rely on US providers?

The answer is more nuanced and it’s exactly what Pascal Kaufmann has been exploring.

As Neuroscientist and co-founder of AlpineAI, he helped build SwissGPT for organizations that can’t, or don’t want to, send sensitive data to foreign AI systems.

In this episode, he goes beyond the usual debate about “sovereignty vs performance” and looks at the real trade-offs: how a model’s origin can shape its outputs, when control matters more than capability, and what it actually means to truly own an AI stack.

Language: German. Replay available with English subtitles.

FAQ

Is this gated content?

Yes - registration is required, which gets you the live link and the replay. We don't share your details with third parties.

How long is each episode?

30 minutes. One host, one guest, no panels, no padding.

What if I can't make it live?

Subscribe anyway. You'll get the replay link the day after, plus any frameworks or resources we share during the session.

How many episodes will there be?

As many as the conversation warrants. Sovereign Sessions is an ongoing program, not a fixed-length campaign. We'll keep going as long as the questions stay worth asking.

Is this a sales pitch for sovara?

No. The series exists to clarify the sovereignty conversation, not to demo our product. If sovara comes up, it's because a guest brought it up — and we're happy to talk about it separately.
