Small states can build AI that reflects their languages, cultures, and values — but only if they retain control. I examine the risks to digital sovereignty posed by overdependence on foreign platforms and argue that open-source, context-specific models are crucial to an autonomous AI future.

I often return to three books in my collection: Multiple Warheads, Rain Like Hammers, and King City (by B. Graham). Graham's work is an example of style being the substance. It is a wonderful Americanization of #LigneClaire, #Mœbius, puns and sexiness. His are glorious worlds you get lost in.
