AI Sovereignty Council

What if the most dangerous AI myth isn’t bias or control—but the belief that we can predict the future with certainty? On November 13, 2026, a 1960 paper predicted the end of humanity. It wasn’t a forecast. It was a joke—a satire of exponential thinking. And yet, when the News Bureau at the University of Illinois reminded us of it, even a veteran science editor panicked. This is the moment we need to rethink AI sovereignty. It’s not about national strategy or data centers. It’s about building systems that know their limits, that play, that admit when they’re wrong. The true genius of Heinz von Foerster wasn’t his equation—it was his mindset: the seriousness of children at play. That’s the same mindset we need in today’s AI labs, whether on a laptop or in a garage. of Illinois News Bureau – https://news.illinois.edu/its-not-the-end-of-the-world/ Source: https://news.illinois.edu/its-not-the-end-of-the-world/ View and join any or all of our communities — AI, quantum, and real estate: https://alex-companies.com/reports/linkedin-groups If there's an AI, quantum, or real estate community you'd like to see us convene, tell us — this portfolio grows by request.
