National Government: Sovereign AI for Citizen Services
A national government needed AI-powered citizen services with sovereign infrastructure, equity guarantees, and unified governance across 20+ agencies. Rotavision delivered the national AI trust architecture.
National AI with national accountability
The government launched a national AI initiative with ambitious goals: AI-powered citizen services across 20+ agencies, sovereign infrastructure, equity requirements, and unified governance.

A model for national AI governance
| Metric | Target | Achieved |
|---|---|---|
| Agencies onboarded | 20 | 23 |
| Citizen services AI-enabled | 15 | 19 |
| Equity variance (max regional) | <5% | 2.3% |
| Decision transparency | 100% | 100% |
| Citizen trust (survey) | 60% | 68% |
| Processing time reduction | 40% | 52% |
Additional outcomes
- International recognition for AI governance approach
- Model framework adopted by 3 neighboring countries
- Zero major AI incidents in first year
- Citizen complaints about AI down 60% vs initial pilot
"We couldn't just deploy AI — we had to deploy AI that citizens could trust, on infrastructure we controlled, with transparency we could prove. Rotavision helped us build the national AI trust architecture that made this possible. Other countries are now asking how we did it."
