    Breakout Track: Sovereign AI Anywhere
    Bringing AI to Your Data in Any Cloud or Data Center

    Moving sensitive data to public AI models is a costly, risky compromise. The true enterprise differentiator lies in scaling trusted, autonomous agents for complex workflows—without sacrificing privacy or succumbing to public cloud "token traps." Discover how Cloudera achieves sovereign AI by bringing high-performance AI directly to your data, whether in hybrid clouds, private infrastructure, or air-gapped data centers.

    What You Will Learn:

    • Private, Cost-Predictable Model Serving: Securely host models behind your firewall with Cloudera AI Inference service, lowering TCO compared to public APIs.
    • Fast-Tracked Agentic Innovation: Rapidly scale autonomous workflows with low-code Cloudera Agent Studio, ensuring safe interaction with production systems.
    • Centralized AI Governance: Manage, monitor, and route AI usage via a unified control plane that eliminates "shadow AI" and ensures strict compliance.

    Join us to see how a data-to-AI strategy minimizes risk, lowers TCO, maximizes operational sovereignty, and accelerates production-grade enterprise intelligence.
