The Architecture of Sovereign Expropriation: A Clinico-Legal Fraud Investigation into the UK Sovereign AI Fund and Mechanisms of State Capture in 2026
The United Kingdom’s recent launch of the Sovereign AI Fund has been ostensibly framed within the macroeconomic doctrine of “securonomics” to accelerate domestic technological supremacy and industrial growth. However, this paper presents a cross-disciplinary clinico-legal investigation demonstrating that this initiative functions as a sophisticated mechanism for state capture and sovereign expropriation. By analyzing the legal architecture of the fund’s Special Purpose Vehicles and intellectual property agreements, we reveal a process of “Public-Private Reverse Takeover.” Transnational capital and distress-debt funds are shown to exploit asymmetrical contracts to extract absolute ownership of state-funded artificial intelligence innovations and critical public data assets, including the National Data Trust.
