The terms that come up when you build real, sovereign AI — explained plainly, without hype.
- On-premise AI
- AI that runs on your own servers instead of a third-party cloud. Data never leaves the building — the basis for genuine digital sovereignty.
- Sovereign AI
- AI you keep full control over: your own models, data and infrastructure — without depending on a US hyperscaler.
- SLM (Small Language Model)
- A small, specialised language model. For many tasks cheaper, faster and more controllable than a giant frontier model — and deployable on-premise.
- Frontier model
- One of the largest, most capable AI models on the market. Powerful but expensive and usually cloud-API-only. Not needed for every task — an SLM is often enough.
- RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation)
- A method where the AI grounds its answer in your vetted knowledge base instead of making things up. It reduces hallucinations and makes answers traceable.
- GDPR mapping
- The systematic detection and mapping of personal data in texts and data estates — the foundation of every GDPR obligation. Automated in the MangoSeed Mapper.
- Records of processing (RoPA)
- The overview of all processing activities required under Art. 30 GDPR. It can be generated from real data instead of maintained by hand.
- DORA
- Digital Operational Resilience Act — an EU regulation on the IT resilience of financial firms. It requires, among other things, an auditable trail over vendor contracts.
- Audit trail
- A complete, traceable log chain: who decided what, and when? It makes AI results auditable — e.g. to BaFin standards.
- NER (Named Entity Recognition)
- Automatic recognition of names, places and organisations in text. The core of any privacy scan — in MangoSeed’s EntityLens, right in the browser.
- White-label AI
- Software one party builds and another markets under its own brand. MangoSeed builds the AI; partners sell it under their brand.
- EU cloud
- Data centres inside the EU (for MangoSeed: Frankfurt). GDPR-compliant processing with no data transfer to third countries — an alternative to the on-premise option.
