Artificial intelligence is becoming fundamental digital infrastructure — for decisions, processes, production, and public administration. The central question is no longer whether a company uses AI, but under what conditions. Sovereign AI means: control over data, models, infrastructure, traceability, and domain adaptability — not isolation, but strategic controllability.
A company can comply with data protection regulations and still be completely dependent on external platforms. Sovereign AI encompasses five levels:
Which data is stored where — and may it be used to train external models?
Are models interchangeable, auditable, and adaptable?
Public cloud, private cloud, on-premises, or hybrid — who controls operations and security?
Is AI embedded transparently — with an audit trail and clear responsibilities?
Is internal know-how and intellectual property being built — or is only an external function being consumed?
The EU AI Act has been in force since August 2024. The European Commission's AI Continent Action Plan foresees investments of 200 billion euros to strengthen AI and 20 billion euros for up to five AI Gigafactories. Political programs create frameworks — but real sovereignty emerges where companies concretely integrate AI into their data, processes, and value creation.
No company needs to develop all foundation models itself. What matters is freedom of choice and architectural control: components must remain interchangeable, sensitive data must be protected, and critical processes must be traceable. The guiding question is: "Which parts of our AI value chain do we need to control ourselves?"
Experimental, efficiency-enhancing, or operationally critical? Criticality determines the need for sovereignty.
Which data is strategically valuable? Where does training data originate? What must the company not relinquish control over?
Keep models, pipelines, monitoring, and interfaces separate — for interchangeability and agility.
AI outputs must be versioned, documented, and verifiable — especially for assessments and recommendations.
Competitive advantage emerges where process knowledge, historical data, and domain rules are translated into proprietary AI systems.
"Sovereign AI does not mean doing everything yourself. Sovereign AI means being able to control what matters most." — Jaroona Perspective
According to the EU AI Act, which aims to build trust and acceptance for AI in the European Union, a high-risk AI system is one that carries significant potential to negatively affect the health, safety, or fundamental rights of individuals. This applies in particular to systems deployed in safety-critical areas or making critical decisions with far-reaching consequences for people, as detailed in Annex III of the Act.
Here is the official and practically relevant overview of which AI systems qualify as “high-risk AI” (according to the final EU AI Act, adopted in March 2024, in force since 2025):
AI systems for remote biometric identification of individuals in real time or ex post (e.g., facial recognition in public spaces or for workplace monitoring) and for categorizing individuals based on biometric characteristics (such as gender, ethnicity, sexual orientation, or emotional states).
Systems used for the operation or management of critical infrastructure such as electricity, gas and water supply, traffic management systems, digital infrastructure, or emergency medical services, whose failure or malfunction could significantly endanger the lives, health, or safety of people.
AI systems intended to determine or assess access to educational institutions (e.g., admissions processes), evaluate learning performance (e.g., automated examination systems), or assess the suitability of individuals for specific educational pathways or professional qualifications, which may affect career prospects.
AI systems used for recruiting and selecting personnel (e.g., CV screening, psychometric tests), evaluating employee performance, promotions or terminations, task assignment, or monitoring work behavior, as these can directly affect working conditions and livelihoods.
Implementation of a systematic approach to identifying, analyzing, evaluating, and mitigating risks throughout the entire lifecycle of the AI system, from development to decommissioning.
Ensuring the quality of training, validation, and test datasets in terms of relevance, representativeness, and accuracy. Creating and maintaining comprehensive technical documentation that enables transparent auditing of the system.
Ensuring that the functioning of high-risk AI systems is understandable to users ("explainability"). Additionally, effective human oversight must be possible at all times to correct undesired outcomes or deactivate the system.
Before a high-risk AI system is placed on the EU market, it must undergo a rigorous conformity assessment procedure. Upon successful completion, it receives the CE marking, confirming its compliance with all EU requirements.
Mandatory registration of all standalone high-risk AI systems in a public EU database to ensure transparency and facilitate monitoring by market surveillance authorities.
Many AI applications stop at well-formulated answers. Agentic AI goes a step further: it receives a goal – such as “Create a complete proposal for client XY” – and works toward it autonomously: it plans sub-steps, calls APIs, reads databases, executes code, and checks intermediate results until a reliable outcome is achieved. The principle: Goal → Plan → Action → Review → Adjustment → Result. Instead of just producing text, this AI acts like a digital employee.
The system works toward a clearly defined outcome – e.g., a finished report, a completed booking, or a validated data object
A goal like “Analyze quarterly data and create an executive summary” is automatically broken down into 5–10 sub-steps and processed sequentially
Access to REST APIs, SQL databases, web browsers, Python interpreters, email systems, CRM and ERP – depending on the task
After each action, the system checks the result against the goal: Is the result correct? If not → correction and retry
Intermediate results, decisions made, and failed attempts are stored in a persistent working memory (e.g., vector store)
Policies define which tools may be used, which actions require human approval, and when the process is terminated
Automatically generate proposals from CRM data (Salesforce, HubSpot), analyze tenders and create proposal drafts, run complete onboarding workflows for new clients
Pull raw data from data warehouses, clean it, run models, and output a management summary with recommendations in natural language – without manual intermediate steps
Analyze logs from Splunk or Datadog, triage incidents by severity, automatically execute runbooks, and create escalation tickets in Jira when needed
Search patent databases, scientific publications, and competitor websites, extract relevant content, and condense it into a structured research report – in minutes instead of days
For agentic AI to be used productively, a clear security and governance design is required. These safeguards are not optional – they are critical for safe operation:
Actions with external effects (sending emails, deleting files, triggering payments) require explicit approval
Each agent receives only the minimum necessary access rights – no write access where read access suffices
Every action, every tool call, and every decision is logged with a timestamp and justification – GDPR-compliant
Maximum API calls per hour, token budgets, and cost limits prevent uncontrolled spending or infinite loops
After N failed attempts or when confidence falls below a threshold, the agent stops and escalates to a human

Jaroona develops agentic AI systems that integrate directly into existing enterprise infrastructures – from SAP and Salesforce to internal databases and cloud platforms. We accompany the entire journey: from process analysis and feasibility study through proof-of-concept to production-ready solutions with full monitoring. The focus is on four core areas:
From idea to production-ready solution: We define process boundaries, build in robust error handling, and ensure the agent runs stably even with unexpected inputs – with SLA monitoring and automatic retraining.
We develop custom tool adapters for your systems: REST APIs, SQL databases, SAP modules, Microsoft 365, Salesforce, internal knowledge bases, and proprietary interfaces.
We implement role-based access models, human-in-the-loop workflows for critical actions, complete audit trails, and GDPR-compliant data storage – documented and auditable.
We define KPIs before go-live: throughput time, error rate, cost savings, degree of automation. Dashboards in Power BI or Grafana make ROI transparent and continuously traceable.
Modern UAV campaigns generate enormous amounts of data — a single flight mission typically delivers 400–500 GB of raw data: LiDAR point clouds with 50–200 points per square meter (up to 1,000 pts/m² for full-waveform systems), high-resolution RGB images, multispectral orthophotos (4–10 channels, 400–1,000 nm), and thermal data (LWIR, 8–14 µm). These sensor data differ in geometry, radiometry, resolution, and reference system — their fusion is demanding.
Classical methods — rule-based filters, manual digitization, threshold-based classifiers — cannot keep pace with these volumes. Manual analysis of a LiDAR flight over 10 km² ties up several person-weeks, with inherently subjective errors. Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) solve this problem: they enable automated, reproducible analysis of heterogeneous geodata — as an intelligent layer between raw data and specialist systems such as GIS, CAD, or BIM.
YOLO v8 is a single-stage detector: it divides the image into a grid and directly determines object position and class for each cell — without an intermediate proposal step. The result is inference times under 10 ms per image on current GPU hardware, even for compact objects such as manhole covers or road markings.
Mask R-CNN works in two stages: first, a Region Proposal Network suggests candidate regions, which are then simultaneously classified, localized, and segmented at pixel level. This instance segmentation separates overlapping objects — important, for example, for building footprints in densely built-up areas.
Both architectures use transfer learning: pre-trained weights (ImageNet, COCO) are fine-tuned on domain-specific datasets — such as the ISPRS benchmarks Vaihingen and Potsdam with classes like buildings, vegetation, roads, and vehicles. Current models achieve F1 scores of 0.91–0.96 for well-represented classes. Weaknesses appear with occlusion (e.g., trees obscuring roads), low resolution (>10 cm/pixel), or rare classes — where precision and recall drop below 0.75.
PointNet++ (Qi et al., 2017) processes unordered point clouds through hierarchical feature aggregation: support points are selected via farthest point sampling, and their local neighborhoods are aggregated layer by layer. This creates a representation that combines local geometry with global context. RandLA-Net (Hu et al., 2020) replaces this sampling with random sampling — more efficient for large scenes — and automatically assigns greater weight to relevant neighboring points.
Compared to classical methods such as the Progressive Morphological Filter or ground filtering according to Axelsson (2000) — which iteratively mesh the lowest points and extend them using distance and angle criteria — DL approaches perform significantly better in urban scenes: they generalize across different building shapes and correctly classify bridges where rule-based filters systematically fail.
On the ISPRS Vaihingen and SemanticKITTI benchmarks, current models achieve mIoU values of 0.72–0.85 and an overall accuracy > 0.93. Challenges remain in dense scenes with highly varying point density, mutual occlusion, and imprecise class boundaries. For standard-compliant terrain models (DTM/DSM according to DIN 18740-4), a minimum requirement of > 98% overall accuracy applies for ground classification.
To measure changes between two acquisition epochs, the point clouds must first be precisely co-registered. The ICP algorithm (Iterative Closest Point) iteratively minimizes the mean distance between corresponding point pairs. Under favorable scene conditions, it achieves accuracies of ±1–3 mm — with low overlap or vegetation, uncertainty increases to ±1–2 cm.
For the actual distance measurement, the M3C2 algorithm (Lague et al., 2013) has become established: it measures the distance between two point clouds along the local surface normal, accounts for point density and registration uncertainty, and delivers a statistically robust distance value. This enables the distinction between genuine deformations and measurement noise. For bridge monitoring, the detection threshold is typically ±3–5 mm (point density > 100 pts/m², ICP residuals < 5 mm).
Concrete applications: landslide monitoring with monthly LiDAR epochs detects creep movements from 5 mm/month; bridge deflections under traffic load range from 2–15 mm; weekly UAV flights on construction sites enable volume calculations with an accuracy of ±0.5% of total volume. Difference DTMs from two epochs complement point-based analysis for area-wide questions such as erosion.
Outlook: Foundation models for geodata — including Prithvi (IBM/NASA, pre-trained on Sentinel-2 time series) and GeoSAM (Segment Anything Model, adapted for remote sensing) — can significantly reduce annotation effort through few-shot and zero-shot learning. However, domain adaptation remains challenging: UAV close-range data differs substantially from satellite data in spectrum and geometry, leading to measurable performance losses. Open questions concern the need for standardization of AI-assisted surveying results — in particular the normative anchoring of accuracy requirements, validation protocols, and documentation obligations within the HOAI service profiles and relevant DIN/ISO standards.
Pharmaceutical companies generate immense amounts of data every day, ranging from R&D laboratories and clinical trials to production processes, quickly reaching terabytes in volume. This data is typically distributed across various isolated silos, such as LIMS (Laboratory Information Management Systems) for managing lab samples and test results, EDC (Electronic Data Capture) for electronic capture of clinical trial data, ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) for company-wide resource planning, CRM (Customer Relationship Management) for customer interactions, specialized clinical databases, and direct outputs from laboratory equipment.
Furthermore, the data is heterogeneously structured, ranging from image data (e.g., histopathological scans, microscopy images, medical imaging such as MRI/CT) to text data (research reports, patient histories, regulatory documents, scientific publications) and time series (sensor data from wearables, biomarker progressions, production parameters) through to complex molecular structures (chemical formulas, 3D protein structures). This fragmentation and the variety of formats pose significant challenges for comprehensive analysis and the extraction of valuable insights.

This allows you to address your customers in a highly personalized way and increase customer satisfaction and conversion rates.
Protect your company with AI-based security: anomaly detection in transaction data, fraud pattern analysis with neural networks, and improved risk control through deep learning algorithms. This helps prevent financial losses and maintain compliance guidelines.
Increase the efficiency of your internal processes: AI models can identify bottlenecks in production, optimize maintenance schedules through predictive maintenance, and improve resource allocation. This leads to shorter throughput times, lower operating costs, and higher productivity.
Revolutionize your supply chain: AI enables the prediction of delivery delays, optimization of routes and transportation costs, and efficient inventory management across the entire supply chain. This creates a more resilient and responsive supply chain that can also react to unforeseen events.
The financial industry is experiencing massive innovation pressure from digital technologies and high customer expectations. At the same time, increasingly complex and growing regulation (e.g., MiFID II, Basel III, GDPR, AML) hampers operational agility and causes high compliance costs. Financial institutions must also efficiently manage enormous volumes of data – from transactions and customer data to unstructured texts – and extract value from them. Competition from agile FinTechs (neobanks, payment service providers, robo-advisors) intensifies this pressure, as they threaten the market shares and margins of traditional institutions with lower cost structures and superior digital user experiences.
Our AI solutions address these challenges in a targeted way: they enable financial institutions to assess risks more precisely (e.g., detect fraud patterns with over 95% accuracy), automate decision-making processes (e.g., reduce loan processing times by up to 80%), and identify market opportunities in real time. This leads to proactive adaptation to market dynamics and the development of new revenue streams through precise forecasts and data-driven insights.
