In this episode of Age of AI, Jean Garcia Periche of the Center for Public Intelligence joins Medlir to explore how artificial intelligence could fundamentally transform public institutions. We discuss why traditional government structures struggle with today's complex challenges, how AI agents and digital public infrastructure could enable a shift from digital to agentic government, and what technologies like GovOS and Agent ID might mean for public services.


The conversation also tackles the larger questions: Should access to AI-powered intelligence become a social right? How can governments ensure accountability and protect citizens from surveillance? And what does the AI revolution mean for national sovereignty, particularly in the Global South?
