This white paper argues that the global AI ecosystem has recreated a colonial dependency model  and that the technology to break that dependency is available today, at a cost any institution can afford, on hardware most institutions already own. It is written by a practitioner who built the proof of concept, not a researcher who theorised about it.

What the paper covers

  • Why cloud AI is an uncontrolled data export for developing economy institutions
  • What the Huawei case tells us about AI infrastructure risk
  • Why a £50 second-hand machine now runs 80% of what a cloud subscription delivers
  • How a university computer lab gets retrofitted as sovereign AI infrastructure in one week
  • The 8-week return on investment calculation
  • Why the current generation of students needs to understand AI, not just use it
