The question of digital sovereignty is becoming more urgent for universities in the age of artificial intelligence. AI-based applications are not only critical from the perspective of data protection and functional transparency, but also pose a threat to independent thinking. AI literacy, an independent AI infrastructure and a clearly defined strategic framework are fundamental for defending academic freedom.

However, artificial intelligence is challenging digital sovereignty in new ways that go beyond these classic aspects.
