AI Sovereignty Council

What if AI sovereignty isn’t about running models on your own server — but about co-creating them with the people they’re meant to serve? The 2008 wage theft study in San Francisco’s Chinatown, led by UC Berkeley in partnership with the Chinese Progressive Association, wasn’t just about data — it was about justice. Workers weren’t subjects; they were co-investigators. Their lived experience shaped the research, defined the harm, and validated the results. That’s the blueprint for sovereign AI: shared ownership, open collaboration, and public impact over academic prestige. The same model applies to open-source LLMs, private RAG, and home labs — if the community that generates the data also governs the model, sovereignty is real. This is not policy. It’s practice.
