From Shadow AI to Sovereign AI Infrastructure (Sponsored by amazee.ai)

Thomas Schröpfer (thomasschroepfer), Hank VanZile (hankvanzile)

AI is becoming part of daily business, often through tools and integrations that teams don't fully manage or monitor. As adoption grows, so do the challenges around data security, compliance, provider choice, and controlling costs. In this session, amazee.ai Go-to-Market Program Manager Thomas Schröpfer will explain how a private AI gateway provides organizations with the visibility and governance they need while keeping developers productive. You'll also hear from Hank VanZile from Tag1 about how the company uses amazee.ai's private AI infrastructure through Scolta to deliver secure AI capabilities for Drupal, Laravel, and WordPress. Leave with practical ideas for adopting AI safely across enterprise web platforms.
