AIEONME Foundation is an independent AI governance think tank advancing the Global South and Latin American perspective on frontier artificial intelligence. We research who reaches the frontier, who pays for it, and how Latin America earns a seat in the institutions deciding both.
A complete institutional blueprint for LATAM-AISI: a Latin American frontier-AI safety and evaluation institute, financed through a lithium-for-compute mechanism that converts the region’s mineral leverage into evaluation capability and a seat at the frontier table.

Three Strategic Papers, one argument: the problem of restricted frontier access, the pattern of extraction without representation, and the solution the region can build.
Anthropic’s Claude Mythos is available only to approved organizations. Twelve partners were named. Zero are from the Global South. This paper asks the governance question no one else was asking from the South.
The Global South supplies the lithium that powers frontier AI infrastructure while remaining outside both frontier cyber-defense access and the forums where frontier AI is governed. This paper documents the pattern with primary-source data.

Frontier-model access programmes and AI safety institutes concentrate in North America, Europe and East Asia. The lithium that powers the infrastructure comes, in large part, from the triangle where this foundation works.
Across our AI Term of the Day series, AIEONME coins original governance concepts: frames that name what imported vocabulary cannot. The glossary is their canonical home.
“Imported footprint, exported benefit.”
The pattern by which the environmental and material costs of frontier AI are imported by the Global South while the benefits are exported to the regions that own the models.
Our Spanish-language programme on frontier AI safety, sovereign AI and the Global South.
