PRO Session (DataWeek): Data Sovereignty in the Age of AI

Friday September 5, 2025 10:00am - 10:25am PDT

DataWeek -- Main Stage

Michel Tricot, Airbyte, Co-founder and CEO

This session will explore the intersection of data sovereignty and artificial intelligence, addressing how organizations can maintain control of their valuable data assets while still leveraging the power of AI. Drawing from extensive experience building open-source data infrastructure solutions, Michel will illuminate the challenges companies face when integrating AI into their data ecosystems without compromising ownership, security, or compliance requirements.

The session targets data leaders, CDOs, and enterprise architects who are navigating the complex landscape of AI adoption while maintaining strict data governance standards. Michel will share practical frameworks for implementing a self-managed data integration strategy that enables AI innovation while preserving first-party data sovereignty—a crucial consideration as regulatory requirements around data protection continue to evolve globally. Attendees will gain actionable insights on building resilient data architectures that support AI initiatives without surrendering control of sensitive information.

This session aligns perfectly with Data Week's focus on "Data Engineering & Governance" and "AI & ML" tracks, offering attendees a unique perspective on balancing innovation with control. Conference participants will benefit from Michel's vision of how open-source data integration infrastructure can serve as the foundation for responsible AI development, empowering organizations to build competitive advantages while maintaining complete sovereignty over their data. The presentation will include real-world examples of companies that have successfully implemented these principles.
