Christopher pioneered Sovereign AI Finance, the field that designs new AI sovereign wealth funds to build national Sovereign AI capability. First introduced in 2023 through his Global AI Bill of Rights initiative, his Sovereign AI Finance Framework aligns three levers: Funding (perpetual, rules-based vehicles), Capability (compute, talent, data access), and Governance (accountability with clear citizen benefit) to help countries, especially in the Global South, build durable, domestically governed AI capacity. His thesis: long-term competitiveness requires AI systems financed and governed to reflect and serve the populations they are meant to empower. Postgraduate candidate, Harvard Kennedy School (expected 2027).

Recognized as one of Forbes México’s “Top 35 AI Leaders” in 2024, Christopher became a contributing writer to the print magazine in 2025.
