Pillar I / The Academy
The Sovereign AI Academy.
We teach and credential people to use AI effectively, deploy sovereign AI in their community, and run the hardware and software stack underneath it. Three stackable credentials. One curriculum spine. No prerequisites except curiosity.
Credentials
Three credentials. They stack.
Each is independently useful. Take them in order to go from using AI well to deploying it for your community to running the whole stack.
AI Foundations
For: Every learner, worker, citizen
How to use AI well — what it's actually good at, where it fails, how to read a model card, how to prompt without surrendering judgment, how to spot when an AI is wrong about you.
- Use AI tools without being used by them
- Recognize AI failure modes in your own field
- Know when an AI answer needs a human check
Sovereign AI Practitioner
For: Workers, organizers, community technologists
How sovereign / local AI fits into the broader AI landscape. When to use a cloud model vs. a local one. How to deploy and tune the HumaneFrame app suite for your community.
- Pick the right model for the job (local, sovereign, or cloud)
- Deploy and configure community apps (PLA, Navigator, Civic Chat)
- Train human Weavers / Navigators on the platform
Sovereign AI Operator
For: IT staff, infra teams, the Nation's technologists
How to run the full stack on your land. Hardware (DGX Sparks + desktops + laptops + mobile), LLM selection and fine-tuning, the network mesh, the Sovereign Ledger, and the governance layer.
- Stand up and operate a Spark-anchored compute mesh
- Fine-tune and serve community-owned LLMs
- Run the governance, logging, and data-sovereignty layer
Curriculum spine
The Implementers' Pathway.
Five courses. Sequential, but each stands alone. Maps onto the three credentials — take what your role requires.
Foundations of Sovereign AI
First principles. Why local. Why low-church. The starfish vs. the spider.
Diné Philosophy in System Design
Sa'ah Naagháí Bik'eh Hózhóón as an architectural constraint, not a label.
The HumaneFrame Stack
5-tier architecture. PCR. SNBH state vector. Hyperagent swarm.
Deploying the App Suite
From cloud-gateway pilot to locally-tuned LLM. Hardware, data, governance.
The Weaver Protocol
Training human mentors. Crisis escalation. Compensation. Chapter House operations.
