Abstract

The rapid expansion of AI-based remote services has intensified debates about the long-term implications of growing structural concentration in infrastructure and expertise. As AI capabilities become increasingly intertwined with geopolitical interests, the availability and reliability of foundational AI services can no longer be taken for granted. This issue is particularly pressing for AI-enabled public services for citizens, as governments and public agencies are progressively adopting 24/7 AI-driven support systems typically operated through commercial offerings from a small oligopoly of global technology providers. This paper challenges the prevailing assumption that general-purpose architectures, offered by these providers, are the optimal choice for all application contexts. Through practical experimentation, we demonstrate that viable and cost-effective alternatives exist. Alternatives that align with principles of digital and cultural sovereignty. Our findings provide an empirical illustration that sovereign AI-based public services are both technically feasible and economically sustainable, capable of operating effectively on premises with modest computational and financial resources while maintaining cultural and digital autonomy. The technical insights and deployment lessons reported here are intended to inform the adoption of similar sovereign AI public services by national agencies and governments worldwide.
