Frequently Asked Questions
What is Sovereign AI?
Sovereign AI refers to the domestic capability to own and control the entire AI technology stack within national borders. This includes physical data centers, specialized hardware (NVIDIA H200, B200, SambaNova), software, trained models, and skilled workforce—all operating under local laws and governance without foreign dependencies or access. MOTHER AI operates exclusively on UK/EU infrastructure with no foreign technology dependencies.
Why is data residency critical for UK and EU organizations?
GDPR requires that EU citizen data be processed under EU law regardless of location. However, sectors like government, defence, finance, and healthcare face stricter requirements mandating that data physically remain within specific jurisdictions. UK government data cannot be processed in foreign jurisdictions under U.S. CLOUD Act exposure. Our infrastructure ensures complete UK/EU data residency by design—your data never leaves Manchester, Liverpool, Durham, Düsseldorf, or Marseille facilities.
How does MOTHER AI ensure complete sovereignty?
MOTHER LLM is trained and deployed exclusively on UK/EU infrastructure with no foreign technology dependencies. Models never leave sovereign boundaries. All processing, training, and inference occur within our five data centers. UK government and EU institutions maintain complete control over their AI operations with no exposure to foreign legal frameworks or access requirements.
What about EU AI Act compliance?
The EU AI Act requires transparency, accountability, and data governance for high-risk AI systems. MOTHER AI's architecture provides full auditability, explainable AI outputs, and documented training data provenance. Autm's orchestration layer maintains comprehensive logs, approval workflows, and governance controls required for EU AI Act compliance across all use cases including high-risk applications.
Can MOTHER AI meet UK national security requirements?
Yes. Our Durham facility offers air-gapped deployment for MOD, intelligence services, and classified operations. Infrastructure is UK-owned with British security-cleared personnel. No foreign entities have physical or remote access. We support Government Cloud, Cyber Essentials Plus, and ISO 27001 requirements for defence and security applications with complete operational independence from foreign technology providers.
How is this different from AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud?
AWS, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud operate global infrastructures with legal obligations to foreign governments under the U.S. CLOUD Act. They may offer EU regions, but ultimate control resides with U.S. parent companies subject to U.S. legal jurisdiction. MediaStream AI is UK-owned with EU partnerships, ensuring true sovereignty. Your data never touches foreign legal jurisdictions, systems, or personnel. We provide the only genuinely sovereign AI infrastructure for UK and EU organizations.
What about DORA compliance for financial services?
The EU's Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) requires financial institutions to maintain system uptime, data protection, and operational continuity. Our five-datacenter architecture provides geographic redundancy across UK/EU. Manchester-Liverpool-Durham clustering ensures >99.99% uptime. Düsseldorf and Marseille provide EU-specific failover with full DORA compliance including ICT risk management, incident reporting, and operational resilience testing.
Can we control and customize our own AI models?
Absolutely. MOTHER AI supports custom model training on your proprietary data within sovereign boundaries. You own the models, the weights, and all outputs. Fine-tuning for sector-specific language (legal, medical, technical, defence) occurs on-premises or in your dedicated partition. No model sharing, no external access, no foreign data processing. Complete intellectual property protection under UK/EU law.
