« We cannot master our dependencies unless we master our technologies. »
That is the message delivered this morning by Alexandre Zapolsky at La Mêlée in Toulouse.
Today we are increasingly aware of the risks of depending on technologies we do not control. To be sovereign, we must therefore be able to master our tools.
And this is precisely where real open source takes on its full meaning:
“The only way to master our technologies is indeed to build our information‑system solutions on digital commons, on the basis of open‑source solutions.”
And with AI, the stakes become even more tangible. “The real issue isn’t just having access to a sovereign AI; it’s having access to a platform that gives me access to a sovereign AI service.”
Developing sovereign AIs is good, but integrating them concretely into everyday use is essential. And for that we also need software that people want to use. “At LINAGORA, we build software that users love. That’s the key.”
That is the whole logic of twake.ai: an open‑source, sovereign Digital Workplace designed for day‑to‑day usage.
We continue to bring you the Digital Mêlée live from Toulouse.
