Digital sovereignty has become a central concern for governments and societies seeking to reduce technological dependence while preserving rights, competitiveness, and resilience. In this context, the increasing relevance of AI for our societies and economies raises the key challenge of building technological autonomy without undermining international cooperation and open digital ecosystems. This webinar will present the preliminary findings of the upcoming DCO study on “Cooperative Digital Sovereignty and AI”, authored by Prof. Luca Belli, and will link these insights to relevant ongoing international initiatives, identifying synergies and opportunities for collaboration across regions and institutions.
The webinar will discuss concrete building blocks for fostering autonomy in critical digital infrastructures and AI value chains, without undermining data flows, innovation networks, or international partnerships. Participants will be invited to reflect on how cooperative approaches to digital sovereignty can support trustworthy AI, secure data flows, inclusive digital development, and a more balanced global digital order.
