UK-based technology company ARIS has announced an exclusive partnership with Amazon Web Services (AWS) to become the launch partner for the AWS European Sovereign Cloud. This move aims to enable enterprises to accelerate their adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) while maintaining digital sovereignty.
The partnership will provide organisations with a secure and compliant cloud solution, allowing them to harness the power of AI without compromising on data protection. With the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, data is stored within the EU, ensuring that it meets the strict data protection regulations set by the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the UK's Data Protection Act 2018.
The announcement comes as the UK government continues to push for increased adoption of AI technology across various sectors. According to a recent report by the Centre for Data Ethics and Innovation, AI has the potential to boost UK productivity by up to 10%. However, the same report highlights the need for businesses to ensure that they are adopting AI responsibly and with consideration for digital sovereignty.
Expert commentators have welcomed the partnership, highlighting its potential to drive innovation and competitiveness in the UK. 'This partnership is a significant step forward for the UK's tech industry,' said Dr Emma Jones, AI expert at the University of Oxford. 'By providing a secure and compliant cloud solution, ARIS and AWS are enabling businesses to harness the power of AI while maintaining digital sovereignty.'
As part of the partnership, ARIS will provide its process intelligence capabilities on top of the AWS European Sovereign Cloud, allowing organisations to monitor and improve their business processes. This move is set to boost UK businesses' competitiveness and drive innovation, as they are able to adopt AI technology with confidence.
