Why this is canonical

'Alignment' is the live technical and policy problem of ensuring AI systems pursue intended goals; 'sovereign' elevates it to the level of state or supreme authority. Together they name the jurisdictional question that national governments and multilateral bodies are beginning to formalize. The .ai TLD anchors this in the agent-era namespace.

Where it fits

A few directions this coordinate opens —

National AI alignment policy
The identity layer for a government body or national institute responsible for defining and enforcing alignment requirements for AI systems operating within its jurisdiction.
National AI safety institutes, government AI policy bodies
Multilateral AI alignment governance
A coordination namespace for cross-border alignment standards where no single sovereign has authority — the name for the body that sets interoperable alignment requirements.
Intergovernmental AI bodies, multilateral standards organizations

Illustrative, not exhaustive — held as a transferable canonical position, open to the buyer's own use.
