An independent journal on sovereign AI

Unified is a journal about sovereign AI: artificial intelligence that organisations run under their own control, on infrastructure they own, without depending on an outside provider. It covers the field broadly, the technology, the regulation, and the practical question of how a regulated organisation actually adopts it.

Who writes it

Unified is edited and written by Micky Irons, founder of Mickai, a British company building a Sovereign Intelligence Operating System. He started the journal because the term "sovereign AI" is being used loosely, often shaped to fit whatever a vendor sells, and the plain version of the idea is worth writing down clearly.

The one thing worth disclosing

The editor runs a company in this field. That is a conflict worth stating rather than hiding. The rule here is simple: Mickai is treated as one example within a real field of serious participants, never as the only answer, and wherever it is discussed the relationship is disclosed on the page. Claims made about it are limited to what can be shown. Competing and complementary approaches are described from respect, not disparagement.

Editorial standards

• No fabricated figures. Numbers are stated as filed or measured, and dated where they matter.
• No benchmark claims without a published basis.
• Security properties described honestly: an audit record is tamper-evident, never "tamper-proof" or "unbreakable".
• The wider field named with respect. Private and on-premise deployment is a well-served baseline; this journal is about what sits beyond it.
