Abstract

Before using AI on citizen data, a council should require that it runs offline on council-owned hardware, enforces a zero-egress perimeter so no record leaves the estate, and seals every action to an audit log a data-protection regulator can independently verify.Originally published at https://mickai.co.uk/articles/sovereign-ai-for-local-government-citizen-data-that-stays-in-the-council. Mickai is a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System; the Open Audit Record signs every artificial intelligence action before it executes, post-quantum and offline-verifiable. 104 filed UK patent applications, Mickai LTD (Companies House 17166618).
