Abstract

This preprint provides a non-normative structural analysis of AI sovereignty by reframing it as a problem of irreversibility rather than independence. It examines how irreversible commitments emerge across training, deployment, and institutional embedding, and why neither nation-states nor regional blocs can fully internalize them.
