Good news: Germany can modernize government. I’m so proud of our team and partners to really have an impact and driving the adoption of AI in Europe! 👏 This is exactly why we get up in the morning and #MakeDataWork! The Federal Ministry for Digital and State Modernization (Bundesministerium für Digitales und Staatsmodernisierung) received an international award at the World Governments Summit in Dubai (category: “Best Use of AI in Government Services”) for an #AgenticAI solution that helps accelerate planning and permitting procedures for infrastructure. What the solution supports in practice: > analyzes and structures application documents > checks completeness of required evidence > prepares well-founded decision recommendations And the most important part: the decision and legal responsibility stay with the human experts. That’s how you build trust. A strong signal: The Federal Ministry for Economic Affairs and Energy initiated and funded the work. This is exactly the kind of “digital + industrial policy” #Europe needs more of. And my personal favorite: #OpenSource as a principle. If public sector AI isn’t reusable, it will never scale. Open source enables reuse across federal, state, and local levels and strengthens digital sovereignty in a very practical way. We at Alexander Thamm [at] are proud to contribute as part of the consortium. Thank you to our consortium partners for the strong collaboration: adesso SE conet Dataport AöR Deutsches Forschungszentrum für Künstliche Intelligenz (DFKI) Google Cloud Infora GmbH Materna Merantix Momentum Possible Digital PwC Deutschland @PwC Legal Strategy& VAGO Solutions And especially to our [at] project team who made this happen: Semih Yolaçan Daniel Regenbrecht Pascal Bundschuh Dr. Johannes Nagele Tom M. Now comes the phase that matters: rollout, reuse, and measurable cycle-time reduction. We are excited to continue this work and be a part of this story! https://lnkd.in/e6hVAA8X
