The Sovereignty Premium

▤ Summary

The article argues that AI companies gain a valuation premium when they own the core intelligence stack instead of renting model access from another provider. It says ownership, auditability, and enforceable IP matter more as regulated buyers demand proof, durability, and control. It also makes the case that post-quantum security and tamper-evident records will become important differentiators for long-lived enterprise deployments. The piece positions Mickai as an example of sovereign AI built for regulated sectors and highlights the company’s ongoing £30 million raise as a scaling effort rather than a new launch.
