EMEA Firms Lack AI Visibility Despite Sovereignty Push, IBM Reports
A new IBM report indicates that while businesses in EMEA prioritize AI sovereignty, many lack a clear understanding of their AI vendor and model dependencies. This lack of visibility, coupled with vendor lock-in, poses significant financial and operational risks, with 81% of executives deeming a seven-day outage at a primary AI provider critical. IBM suggests that enterprises should focus on building flexibility into their AI environments, strengthening governance, and adopting a technology-agnostic approach, with open-source solutions being a key de-risking strategy.
