EMEA Firms Lack AI Infrastructure Visibility Despite Sovereignty Push, IBM Reports
Many executives across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) recognize AI sovereignty as a strategic imperative for their organizations. However, a significant number of these leaders reportedly do not have a clear understanding of the infrastructure that underpins their artificial intelligence systems, according to a new report from IBM.

Executives in the Europe, Middle East, and Africa (EMEA) region widely regard artificial intelligence (AI) sovereignty as a critical strategic objective. This indicates a strong awareness of the importance of maintaining control over AI technologies and data.
Despite this strategic focus, many of these executives reportedly lack comprehensive insight into the fundamental infrastructure that supports their AI deployments. This visibility gap could complicate efforts to achieve full AI sovereignty and manage related technological aspects.
According to a report released by IBM, this disparity between the perceived importance of AI sovereignty and the actual understanding of AI infrastructure is prevalent among EMEA firms.
