Europe needs tangible examples of how Artificial Intelligence can transform public administration in a responsible, open, and citizen-centric way. The initiative led by the municipalities of #CiniselloBalsamo, #Buccinasco, #Bollate, #Rho, and #Legnano is a great example of this vision in action. By creating a shared AI ecosystem, these cities are using technology to simplify administrative processes, improve public services, strengthen digital skills, and foster collaboration between local governments, universities, and technology partners. The adoption of Galene.AI demonstrates that it is possible to build AI solutions based on open-source models that are sustainable, sovereign, transparent, and designed to serve the public interest. I hope this initiative becomes a benchmark not only for municipalities across Italy, but also for cities throughout Europe that are embracing digital transformation. Sharing knowledge, best practices, and innovative approaches is essential to building a more efficient, resilient, and citizen-focused public sector. Congratulations to everyone involved in making this vision a reality. I look forward to seeing many more European cities follow this path. #AI #ArtificialIntelligence #GovTech #DigitalTransformation #PublicSector #SmartCities #OpenSourceAI #Innovation #Europe #GaleneAI Charbel Aoun (乔博翁) Sam Evans Andrea Cappelletti Melvin Ierfino
