It's not an FAI, it hasn't taken over and promptly saved the world yet.

Well, I suppose this could all be a very slow plan on its part, but that would be boring, so it's probably magically charged to not do that, in some better-than-English conceptual way.

And well, insofar as they're trying to save the world and no major government cares to throw large quantities of public funds at them.
