IBM Unveils Comprehensive Approach to Sovereign AI Governance

IBM is tackling the complexities of sovereign AI by combining its Sovereign Core and IBM Optim software. The goal is to provide a comprehensive approach to governing both where AI operates and how supporting data is prepared, used, retained, and retired.

The missing layer in sovereign AI is often said to be the data lifecycle. Organizations struggle with making enterprise data useful without making it vulnerable. With Sovereign Core and IBM Optim, enterprises can govern information as it moves through operational use, application testing, AI development, archiving, and disposal.

Within an IBM Sovereign Core environment, capabilities like data privacy protection, test data management, and archiving enable a governed approach to providing enterprise data. Sensitive data discovery identifies and classifies regulated information, helping apply masking policies consistently.
