Living White Paper on the Structure, Power, and Governance of Artificial Intelligence

The eCortex Research Hub is the public home of an open, continuously evolving white paper examining how modern artificial intelligence is built, controlled, and governed. It brings together technical reality, market structure, and human impact to explain who really owns AI, who operates it, and who bears the risk when it fails.

This research is written for leaders, educators, regulators, technologists, and organisations who rely on AI but may not see the infrastructure, models, and dependencies beneath the surface. It aims to reduce confusion, cut through marketing claims, and provide a clear, evidence-based picture of how the AI ecosystem actually functions.

The white paper is published in sections as they are completed. Each section reflects the best available public information at the time of release and is updated as the technology, market, and regulatory environment evolves.
