AI / OpenClaw Interview Questions
How does OpenClaw achieve data sovereignty when running local models via Ollama?
Data sovereignty means keeping data, and the processing of that data, entirely within infrastructure an organization controls, rather than sending it to an external provider.
- OpenClaw's model-selection layer can be configured to route requests to a local model running through Ollama instead of a cloud API
- When configured this way, inference happens entirely on-premise, so prompts and responses never leave the machine running OpenClaw
- This is described as providing architectural data sovereignty guarantees, but only when actually configured to route through local models consistently
The key caveat is that this guarantee depends entirely on configuration, if any agent or workflow is still allowed to fall back to a cloud provider, that specific path breaks the sovereignty guarantee for whatever data flows through it.
What does data sovereignty mean in this context?
What breaks the data sovereignty guarantee for a given workflow?
