Interviews on YouTube – about data sovereignty, AI in SMEs and the question of who really owns your data.
THE CONVERSATION
AI and Tech with Holger Winkler, September 22, 2025: A conversation about what digital sovereignty means in practice – and why a data center in Germany alone does not guarantee GDPR compliance as long as the US Cloud Act allows access.
WHAT WE'RE TALKING ABOUT
How companies can use AI and automation to make their processes more efficient without relinquishing control of their data. What European providers do differently than the US hyperscalers. And how to tell if a provider is truly sovereign – or just advertising that claim.
MY POSITION
Digital sovereignty is not a marketing slogan, but a question of ownership structure and legal jurisdiction. Anyone who takes this seriously needs to look more closely at the provider than at the server's location.
