LightOn and Sodern: Partnership for secure and sovereign AI

LightOn, a major player in generative artificial intelligence in Europe, is partnering with Sodern, a subsidiary of Ariane Group, to integrate secure AI into the core of the latter's operations. Sodern is adopting LightOn's Paradigm platform to increase its productivity while ensuring the security of critical data. This approach addresses digital sovereignty issues, focusing on the integration of high-performance technologies while respecting security standards.

With 450 employees, Sodern now benefits from generative AI to optimize various processes, including code generation and documentation, as well as technical information retrieval. This initiative marks the beginning of a significant digital transformation, supported by a robust proprietary infrastructure. Jean-Marc Espinasse of Sodern underlines the importance of this collaboration with a French player in meeting security and sovereignty requirements.

By adopting Paradigm, Sodern accelerates its processes, reduces response times, and improves productivity, illustrating the possibility of combining sovereignty and industrial efficiency with generative AI. This partnership represents a deployment model aligned with specific business objectives, demonstrating the tangible benefits of generative AI in critical industrial environments.
