Sovereign AI in Base of the Pyramid Markets: The Triple-Lock Blueprint for Bangladesh and the Global South — Compute Deserts, the Token Tax, EU Computational Cores and EW-AiRM Risk Governance

This document presents, essentially verbatim, an AI-generated (Gemini) research report on the blueprint *Sovereign AI in Base of the Pyramid Markets* (Mamun, Faride, Hansel and Krebsz, 2026) and adds a KSCCN review and augmentation layer. All nine sections of the source are retained: the Neural Age and cognitive sovereignty; the authors and their institutional lineage, including the TCV (Time, Cost, Visit) paradigm; the compute desert and the algorithmic Token Tax; semantic sovereignty and the localized harness; the Triple-Lock pillars and their alignment with UN report A/80/817; EuroHPC AI Factories and Gaia-X as a computational core; the EW-AiRM™ three-layer architecture with the HAiPECR™ overlay and Five Non-Negotiables; Base of the Pyramid integration and Digital Health Craft; geopolitical implications; and the conclusion. Corrections are light and bracketed: A/80/817 was released in September 2026, and its USD 3 billion Global Fund is an indicative proposal that has not been established. The 145-outage figure refers to Sub-Saharan Africa. Case statistics that could not be verified are flagged. Country-specific geopolitical phrasing has been neutralised. Seven colour figures, a verification table, a Token Tax cost model and a Bangladesh implementation dashboard are added. Personal academic views only.
