KYE Sovereign AI Profile™ · v1.1 preview

Sovereign AI needs sovereign authority.

Sovereign AI is usually framed as where AI runs. KYE Protocol™ answers a different question: who or what is allowed to act through it, delegate to it, audit it, and revoke it.

Sovereign cloud controls where workloads run. KYE™ controls who or what is authorised to act through them.

KYE Sovereign AI Profile™ is a v1.1 preview profile; the conformance suite freezes with the v1.1 release.

Why sovereign AI needs sovereign authority

Sovereign compute is necessary; not sufficient.

A nation can build the full sovereign AI stack — AI cloud, GPU clusters, sovereign LLMs, local language models, national data spaces, sector-specific agents, public-sector AI services, regulated sandboxes — and still not be able to answer the operational questions that matter to oversight bodies, courts, ombudsmen, and citizens:

  • Which ministry, agency, bank, hospital, contractor, model, agent, API, dataset, workflow, or vendor was allowed to act?
  • On behalf of whom — which citizen, business, account, or principal?
  • Under what authority — which delegation, consent, or statutory grant?
  • Against which data, system, model, citizen, account, asset, or workflow?
  • In what state — was the actor compromised, suspended, or in recovery?
  • With what audit trail and what evidence a regulator, court, auditor, or oversight body can verify offline?

That is the gap KYE Sovereign AI Profile™ closes. EU programs (AI Factories, AI Factory Antennas), Canadian programs (Sovereign AI Compute Strategy), and equivalent national initiatives create compute and model capacity. KYE Sovereign AI Profile™ sits on top — the runtime authority graph for AI agents, models, datasets, APIs, workflows, contractors, and public services that run on that capacity.

KYE™ Sovereign AI apps

Five planned apps for sovereign AI ecosystems.

KYE Sovereign AI Authority Gateway™

Runtime authority gateway for national AI agents, public-sector workflows, regulated AI services, datasets, models, APIs, and cross-agency actions. Checks agencies · agents · models · datasets · APIs · contractors · citizens · workflows · regulated services before AI-powered actions execute.

Govern who or what can act across sovereign AI infrastructure. Before the action runs, KYE™ proves the actor was authorised, the delegation was in scope, the model state was healthy, and the audit chain was bound.

Open: sovereign AI authority schemas · cross-agency delegation schema · sample decision payloads · webhook verifier · SDK examples.

KYE National AI Agent Registry™

Register and govern AI agents, models, tools, datasets, capabilities, owners, maintainers, risk states, and permitted actions across a national AI estate. One authority graph for every AI system in scope.

Open: agent + model + dataset registry schemas · capability-grant schema · risk-state vocabulary · sample agent passport.

KYE Public Sector Decision Map™

Replay why an AI-assisted public-sector action was allowed, denied, escalated, or routed for human review. Worked example: citizen request → public agency → AI agent → dataset / model / tool → legal / policy authority → human oversight rule → decision → audit event → evidence pack.

Open: Decision Map™ schema · sample chains · signature verifier.

KYE Sovereign AI Evidence Pack™

Export evidence for AI-assisted public decisions, dataset access, model deployment, agent actions, contractor access, and emergency overrides. For auditors, regulators, courts, ombudsmen, and oversight bodies.

Open: evidence-pack schema · sample packs · signature-verification library · offline replay tool.

KYE National Sandbox Authority Harness™

Test AI agents and regulated workflows with synthetic entities, scoped authority, Decision Maps™, evidence packs, self-audit, and conformance reports. For FCA-style sandboxes, UAE Open Finance, public AI pilots, healthcare sandboxes, pension sandboxes, and national innovation programs.

Open: sandbox authority schemas · synthetic test fixtures · sample evidence payloads · sandbox connector manifest.

EU AI Act · ISO 42001 · NIST AI RMF · OECD principles.

KYE Sovereign AI Profile™ does not claim to make a deployment “compliant” with the AI Act, ISO 42001, NIST AI RMF, or any framework. What it does is produce the evidence layer those frameworks ask for: human oversight, record-keeping, traceability, accountability, incident review, regulatory assurance.

  • Make authority explicit. Every action carries a delegation chain back to a named principal and a statutory or consent basis.
  • Make state visible. Compromised, suspended, or in-recovery actors cannot act; the state is part of the decision.
  • Make decisions replayable. Decision Map™ per action; signed; verifiable offline.
  • Make evidence exportable. Evidence packs in OSCAL + native + COSE-receipt formats.
  • Make revocation immediate. Cascade revocation propagates across the authority graph in seconds, not minutes.
  • Make oversight inspectable. Ombudsman / supervisor access portal sees the same signed evidence the operator does.

For the framework-by-framework control bindings see frameworks.html and oscal.html.

Connector profile family

Nine sovereign-related profiles, gated to v1.1.

  • KYE Sovereign AI Profile™ — the umbrella profile bundling the entity / capability / authority / state surface above.
  • KYE Public Sector Profile™ — agency + civil-servant + citizen-service authority binding.
  • KYE National AI Agent Profile™ — registry + capability + permitted-action binding for AI agents at national scale.
  • KYE Government API Authority Profile™ — pre-authorisation hook for every government-API call.
  • KYE Public Services Evidence Profile™ — evidence-pack format for citizen-impacting AI-assisted decisions.
  • KYE Sovereign Data Access Profile™ — dataset + data-space authority + provenance.
  • KYE Sovereign Model Registry Profile™ — model entity + risk state + permitted-action binding.
  • KYE Cross-Agency Delegation Profile™ — ministerial + agency + regulatory delegations across an estate.
  • KYE National Sandbox Profile™ — supervisor + participant authority binding for regulated sandboxes.

All nine sovereign-related profiles are v1.1 preview. The schemas, vocabulary, and conformance fixtures freeze with the v1.1 release; The schemas are open; the runtime engine is the planned commercial layer.
