Abstract

Nations are pouring billions into home-soil compute, but if the audit format, the signing keys, and the verifier still belong to the vendor, sovereignty stops at the loading dock. Real sovereignty lives at the substrate.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/sovereign-compute-necessary-not-sufficient. Mickai is a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System; the Open Audit Record signs every artificial intelligence action before it executes, post-quantum and offline-verifiable. 101 filed UK patent applications, Mickai LTD (Companies House 17166618).
