Silo AI: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Silo AI is an AI company that builds end-to-end AI solutions to help enterprises integrate AI into their products, services and operations. It also develops open-source multilingual language models, including Poro and Viking, and runs the SiloGen model platform. Its customers are large enterprises.

Silo AI is based in Helsinki, Finland, with operations in Europe and North America. In July 2024 the US company AMD announced that it would acquire Silo AI for cash; the team sits within AMD's Artificial Intelligence Group and is led by co-founder Peter Sarlin. The silo.ai website now redirects to an AMD page. A US parent company is a CLOUD-Act signal: US law can apply to data that falls under the group's control. No public statement on where customer data is hosted was found, so a European organisation should ask the company directly.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Silo AI

Silo AI is headquartered in FI and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data. The ultimate owner is based in US. Foreign control undermines part of the certainty a European headquarters offers.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Silo AI scores best on data residency.

Silo AI is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Silo AI together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
