Public administrations across Europe need AI to do more with fewer people — and they need it without shipping citizen data to a foreign cloud. ARK is the inference runtime that a ministry, a tax authority, or a defence integrator can actually deploy inside their own perimeter.
Public-sector buyers don't have the option of "ship first, ask for forgiveness later." The data is citizen data, the procurement is scrutinised, and the regulators are your colleagues across the corridor. The AI has to land inside the rules — not ask them to be bent.
Tax records, health data, judicial filings, welfare cases, defence-adjacent work — every category of sensitive public-sector data has a national rule that treats cross-border routing as an incident, not a feature. Hyperscaler endpoints start the conversation in the wrong place.
The EU AI Act names many public-sector use cases — social scoring, law enforcement biometrics, migration — as prohibited or high-risk. What's left still requires governance, documentation, human oversight, and a system of record that you operate, not a vendor.
Public administrations, health systems, energy, transport, water, digital infrastructure — NIS2 treats them as essential entities. The AI that sits inside their workflows has to meet the same resilience, supply-chain, and incident-reporting bar as any other core system.
These are the workloads where the efficiency story and the sovereignty story line up: high document volume, strong audit expectations, and citizen-data sensitivity that rules out a foreign API.
Automate first-line correspondence, extract returns and schedules at scale, and build case-preparation copilots for audit teams — without ever routing a taxpayer's file outside the authority's own cloud.
Case-law retrieval, filing triage, internal legal research, translation of procedural documents. The runtime stays inside the court system's security boundary and every output is traceable.
Air-gapped inference for defence primes and their system integrators. Reusable across intelligence analysis, logistics, cyber, and knowledge-management workloads — inside the customer's accredited environment.
Multilingual front-line assistants, benefit-entitlement guidance, form-filling help, and internal knowledge copilots — all aligned to your administration's data protection and accessibility rules.
Public-sector AI that earns a full security accreditation looks the same everywhere: the model, the runtime, the logs, and the oversight tooling all sit behind the same perimeter the rest of the system does. ARK is designed for that out of the box.
That lets your accrediting authority, your national cyber agency, and your internal audit function walk through the architecture diagram and recognise every box.
Deploy on your own classified network, in your ministry's sovereign cloud, or inside a sovereign cloud operator's regional environment. No call-home, no hidden telemetry path.
Each case file, each taxpayer, each citizen gets its own isolated inference context — so multi-tenant workloads don't become cross-contamination risks.
Every prompt and every output is logged inside your perimeter, with the evaluation and oversight artefacts your accreditation process will ask for.
Built with the integrators already cleared to deliver into defence, justice, finance, and public administration. ARK is the runtime layer; they own the mission system integration.
From EU-level AI and cyber regulation through national security classifications, ARK's architecture meets the same resilience, residency, and auditability obligations your auditors already use on every other core system.
