  Digital Sovereignty and Geo-Jurisdictions

  Cloud Perspectives continues actively leading many international and Canadian digital initiatives to ensure resiliency, security, and sovereignty considerations are evaluated proactively such that risks are managed and mitigated.

  Since January 2025 this subject area has generated tremendous interest as the trusted supply chains have been challenged, with the realization that companies may fall subject to US executive orders (or other countries) that can have economic hardship and consequences for those that have become dependent on those services.

  Steven explores some of the standards work, scenarios, suggested practices, considerations, cultural implications and realities in these challenging times regarding sovereignty and geo-jurisdictions in service management.

  Speaker(s):

  Robots Can Cry, But Should They?

  Due to high interest we have secured Simone to present to us in June during our regular ("Canadian") time slot:

  AI may not feel emotions, but its ability to mimic and influence human responses is reshaping collaboration in Industry 5.0. As service management evolves, the intersection of neuroscience, emotional intelligence, and ethical AI raises new questions: Can AI reduce cognitive load, or does it heighten stress? Will it build trust, or push us into the uncanny valley? And how does it shape decision-making and emotional dynamics in the workplace?

  Join us as we explore how AI can enhance, rather than replace, human intuition, reinforcing ethical, emotionally intelligent service management. Leave with practical ideas to design AI interactions that foster trust, adaptability, and meaningful human-AI partnerships.
