Trust Circle Artificial Intelligence Conference, Zug

At the Trust Circle Artificial Intelligence Conference in Zug on 29 May 2026, Dr. Christian Kunz delivered a keynote on the legal dimension of AI sovereignty, exploring what sovereignty means in practice – not autarky, but maintaining control and self-determination over AI systems, data, and infrastructure. He examined Switzerland's sector-specific approach to AI regulation, the tensions arising from data protection rights, foreign legal demands, infrastructure dependency, and IP uncertainty, and outlined practical steps organizations should take to ensure data control, model independence, and provider portability.
