ai-sovereignty

Coverage of what it actually takes for a nation, institution, or organization to control its own AI stack rather than rebranding someone else's. Expect analysis of model provenance, retraining rights, compute and data ownership, and the cultural defaults baked into foreign weights. The focus stays on verifiable independence over symbolic gestures, including the trade-offs, costs, and governance choices that separate genuine control from sovereignty theater.
