8peaks: Securing European Sovereignty in the Age of Autonomous AI
About
As Europe enters the "Agentic Era," our digital infrastructure faces a critical vulnerability: the proliferation of unmanaged AI agents. Current cloud-based governance solutions are insufficient, creating a "Shadow AI" crisis that threatens enterprise data and national security.
8peaks solves this through AgentWatch, a kernel-level Zero Trust governance stack that inspects AI intent in real-time, providing an unbypassable circuit breaker for autonomous actions. We serve as a core software partner for European consortia.
Target Call Mapping & 8peaks Contribution:
-
HORIZON-CL4-2027-02-DIGITAL-EMERGING-52-two-stage: New approaches for Human/AI collaboration for the workforce of the future
- 8peaks Contribution: Deploys the Agentic AI Delegation Governance Model (AADGM) and Merkle-tree audit trails to ensure human workers maintain ultimate agency. We provide a tamper-proof log proving AI agents safely assist human workers without executing unauthorized autonomous actions.
