Ukraine and Agentic AI: A Glimpse of the Future of Government

We might be starting to see the future of government take shape… and I’m not sure we’re ready for it. In this video, I unpack Ukraine’s latest roadmap on the Agentic State — one of the first real attempts to move from theory to practice when it comes to AI in government. This builds directly on my recent conversation with Manuel Kilian, where we explored the idea of the Agentic State. But this time, the question is different: 👉 What does this actually look like when a government tries to build it? We get into: What the Agentic State actually is The three types of agents Ukraine is building (public-facing, internal, compliance) The underlying architecture — shared infrastructure, orchestration, and data layers Why this is about more than just AI tools — it’s a shift in how government operates And some of the big, uncomfortable questions this raises for public servants I’ve been sitting with this one for a bit. There’s something real here — but also a lot we don’t fully understand yet. 🔗 Related Videos ▶️ My interview with Manuel Kilian on the Agentic State: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sSg96u2aDUc ▶️ Explaining “Rules as Code” (and why it matters): https://www.instagram.com/p/DWvshluEhjB/ 🧠 Why this matters This isn’t just about technology. It’s about what happens when AI becomes part of how government actually runs — how decisions get made, how services are delivered, and where accountability sits. If you’re a public servant (or care about how government works), this is a conversation worth paying attention to. 👋 About Civic Punks I make videos exploring how government works — and how it could work better.
