Research
This work focuses on the intersection of AI, capital, and governance, and how nations and institutions build durable AI capability through policy, financing, and strategic coordination.
It operates across two connected domains: the Global AI Bill of Rights, which defines the rights AI systems must uphold and the conditions required for those rights to hold in practice, and Sovereign AI Finance, which addresses how those systems are financed, governed, and sustained over time.
Frameworks on how nations and institutions govern, finance, and build artificial intelligence.
These two initiatives operate as a connected foundation: one defines what AI systems must uphold, the other addresses how they are built and sustained over time.
Sovereign AI Finance
Christopher is the principal architect of Sovereign AI Finance and steward of its ongoing development as an emerging field at the intersection of AI, public finance, and institutional strategy.
The work defines how nations allocate capital, build AI capability, and coordinate decisions across public and private sectors, positioning artificial intelligence as strategic infrastructure in a geopolitically dynamic environment.

Global AI Bill of Rights
Established in October 2021, the Global AI Bill of Rights defines the foundational rights and system requirements that AI systems must satisfy to serve people, institutions, and societies responsibly.
It establishes what must be true for AI systems to be legitimate and durable, including the technical, institutional, and structural conditions required for those rights to hold in practice.
