ARIS, FRANCE — June 11, 2025: Diplomatic Courier presents “AI, Borders, and Bytes: The Diplomacy of Data Sovereignty” during VivaTech 2025 in Paris, France. Hosted by Diplomatic Courier CEO Ana Rold and Editor-in-Chief Shane Szarkowski, this high-level roundtable will explore the shape of the data economy, the role of data sovereignty in it, and how AI diplomacy can help us build a set of international norms supporting best outcomes.
Key leaders in the space of AI, policy, and related fields will explore questions such as:
- What does the future data economy look like, and what is the place of the individual user on its future trajectory?
- What does a “best possible” future data economy incorporating data sovereignty look like?
- What does good multi-track AI diplomacy look like at a time when the rapid pace of AI innovation means governments need the support of non–public sector stakeholders to solve for the future of AI?
Featured speakers include:
- Alexandre Mirlesse | Conseiller (Cyber, AI, Emerging Technologies), French Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs
- Ayisha Piotti | Head, AI Policy Summit at ETH Zurich's Center for Law & Economics
- Chris Purifoy | CEO, Learning Economy Foundation
