AI in the machinery of state — retrieval, language, and decision-support systems that ministries govern rather than merely consume.
§1Overview
Governments are adopting AI faster than they are learning to govern it. This publication defines the intelligence layer as governed capability: models and retrieval systems deployed against the state’s own knowledge, with provenance, evaluation, and human authority designed in from the first architecture diagram.
§2Reference architecture
The reference pattern is retrieval-augmented generation over governed corpora: ministry knowledge bases with document-level provenance, models that cite what they retrieve, and an evaluation harness that treats accuracy as a monitored service level — not a launch-day claim.
