Sovereignty by Design — Navigating Accountability and Data Residency in the Age of Agentic AI
Hosted by Wipro and AWS
Technology leaders face an urgent dual mandate: establishing clear organisational accountability across data, processes, and legal outcomes while simultaneously shielding the business from regulatory friction, liability, and data exfiltration. Safely unlocking agentic scale demands Sovereignty by Design— embedding verifiable data residency, Zero Trust guardrails, and hybrid routing directly into the orchestration layer.
Join this virtual town hall to explore:
- Practical strategies for balancing operational costs with strict regulatory compliance.
- Frameworks for defining accountability across the enterprise, paired with real-time, immutable audit trails for autonomous machine decisions
- How leading organisations are evolving beyond legacy data governance to build agile, trust-driven agentic operating models
