ML Sudo and Quintus Kilbourn

Trusted execution environments are not as secure as we assume, and AI increasingly runs on hardware no one can independently verify. Sudo ML and Quintus Kilbourn from Project Sovereign are building secure, open, and verifiable silicon that lets users confirm a chip runs exactly as intended – no backdoors, no blind trust in manufacturers or cloud providers – reducing trust assumptions across AI coordination, health systems, safety research, BCIs, and critical infrastructure.
