Fourteen free engineering ebooks on sovereign AI
Today the Mickai ebook corpus shipped at mickai.co.uk/ebooks. Fourteen long-form engineering playbooks on the cryptographic substrate underneath every AI agent. All free, all PDF, all open canonical schema.
If you are an engineering CTO, a procurement officer at a UK regulated buyer, a regulator's digital-policy desk, or a board member who has been asked to sign off on AI governance next quarter, the corpus is written for you.

The substrate question every ebook orbits
Every AI agent in 2026 produces decisions that affect humans, regulators, and balance sheets. The audit trail of those decisions is, today, held under the AI vendor's key in the AI vendor's format in the AI vendor's database. The regulator's chain-of-custody question reduces, in practice, to whether the vendor is currently cooperating.
The Open Audit Record (OAR) primitive flips that. Hash-linked CBOR records, signed under FIPS 204 ML-DSA-65, replayable offline by any party through a browser-resident verifier. The trust root moves from the AI vendor to the operator. The chain verifies under the operator's key regardless of what happens to the vendor.
That primitive is filed at the UK Intellectual Property Office under the patent family GB2607309.8 to GB2610422.4 (31 applications, 914 claims). The trade mark Mickai is registered at UK00004373277.
Where each ebook fits
For the engineering CTO inside a UK regulated buyer: read 1 (workstation playbook), 7 (procurement rubric), 11 (hybrid sandbox).
For the regulator's engineering desk: read 2 (audit substrate), 3 (post-quantum migration), 6 (trust-domain externalisation pattern).
For the board member signing off AI governance: read 8 (plain-English AI intro), 9 (governance definition), 13 (the gap Mickai fills).
For the engineering architect mapping the SIOS: read 5 (25-brain architecture), 12 (full feature tour).
For the union representative, ICO investigator, or labour academic: read 4 (cryptographic accountability for workplace AI).
For the UK SME owner adopting AI for the first time: read 8 (what is AI), 10 (how AI saves time), 7 (procurement checklist).
For the marketing function thinking about agentic workflows: read 14 (AMT case study, founder Crunchbase rank 40,000 to 500 in seven days documented in full).

Why free
The substrate is open by intent. The Mickai commercial offering is the Sovereign Intelligence Operating System above the substrate, the Sovereign Hardware AI Workstation that ships the substrate at the cryptographic primitive layer, and the integration and engagement around adoption. The substrate itself is documented openly so that any UK regulated buyer, any AI vendor, and any regulator can implement against it.
Engagement
If you are an engineering CTO, a procurement officer, a regulator's engineering desk, or a board member at a UK regulated buyer (defence-nuclear, defence-prime, finance, pharma, critical national infrastructure), engineering and corporate leadership at Mickai LTD is open to a thirty-minute substrate briefing at any time. press@mickai.co.uk.
