REFERENCE SCENARIO / HIGHER EDUCATION & RESEARCH
Sovereign AI for a multi-campus university.
Explore how an institution could connect a sovereignty assessment, technical cybersecurity audit and private AI pilot within one accountable operating model.
Reference scenario built on fictional organizational details and synthetic data. It is not a client engagement or a report of measured results.
THE STARTING POINT
Institutional knowledge. Distributed responsibility.
In this fictional scenario, research support and administrative teams use separate repositories and applications. AI experiments have begun independently. Before expanding adoption, the university needs shared decisions about access, deployment and responsibility.
- Which information may an AI system access?
- Where will documents, prompts and responses be processed?
- Who approves a model, connector or configuration change?
- How will internal teams detect failures and intervene?
- Can components be replaced without losing the knowledge base?
