Local AI for Companies – Data Sovereignty, Not Just Data Residency
The complete AI infrastructure is installed and operated on your own premises. Your data never leaves your corporate network – no cloud provider, no foreign authority and no third party gains access.
What is local AI?
Local AI means a language model runs on a server or workstation inside your own company. No cloud, no external provider, no data leaving your premises. It is set up once, operated on your own infrastructure, and then available to your whole team.
Technically, local AI is based on the same large language models (LLMs) that power commercial services – many of them open source and fully operable under your own control. Prompts, documents and answers never leave your systems, because there is no path out.
Local AI vs. cloud AI
The difference is not where the data sits, but who can technically enforce control over it.
| Criterion | Cloud AI | Local AI |
|---|---|---|
| Data processing | Provider's servers | Your own infrastructure |
| Data sharing with third parties | Governed by contract | Technically excluded |
| US CLOUD Act access | Possible | Not applicable |
| Professional secrecy (Art. 321 SCC) | Problematic | Solved at the root |
| Ongoing costs | Per user / per token | Fixed, usage-independent |
| Data sovereignty | Assured | Enforced |

revDSG, CLOUD Act & professional secrecy
Most guides on local AI argue via the GDPR. Swiss companies, however, are governed by the revDSG, supervised by the FDPIC – and for certain professions a criminal-law dimension is added.
Professional secrecy: Art. 321 SCC
Lawyers, doctors and fiduciaries are bound by professional secrecy under Art. 321 of the Swiss Criminal Code. Passing protected data to a cloud provider is legally sensitive – a breach is prosecuted ex officio. With local AI, no data leaves the company, so this disclosure is technically eliminated.
US CLOUD Act
The CLOUD Act compels US providers to hand over data on government request – even for data centres located in Europe. Only those whose data never sits with a US provider escape this access.
revDSG & FDPIC
The revised Data Protection Act requires accountability. Local AI makes the proof trivial: no third-party processor, no cross-border transfer, no data-processing-agreement construction.

Frequently asked questions
What is local AI?
A language model (LLM) runs on your own hardware inside the company – on a server or workstation on your premises. There is no cloud, no external provider and no data leaving your systems. Prompts, documents and answers never leave your infrastructure.
What is the difference between local AI and cloud AI?
With cloud AI your inputs are processed on the provider's servers, often in the US. With local AI the processing stays physically inside your company. The decisive difference is technically enforced control (data sovereignty) instead of a merely contractual assurance (data residency).
What does local AI cost a company?
Mainly one-off hardware costs (a GPU server from a few thousand francs) plus integration and operation. Unlike cloud AI there are no ongoing per-token or per-user fees. Above a certain usage intensity local AI is more predictable and cheaper in the long run.
Is local AI suitable for fiduciaries, lawyers and professionals bound by secrecy?
Yes – it is often the only legally compliant option. Anyone bound by professional secrecy under Art. 321 of the Swiss Criminal Code may not readily pass protected data to cloud providers. Because no data leaves the company with local AI, this disclosure is technically eliminated.
Does local AI solve the US CLOUD Act problem?
Yes. The CLOUD Act compels US providers to hand over data regardless of server location. Only those whose data never sits with a US provider escape this access. Local AI on your own infrastructure under Swiss law is not affected.
