World premiere:
The first AI hired
by a Government.
ION became the advisor to Romania's Prime Minister. The first AI ever hired by a government. It held a role. Asked questions. Generated reports. Had one-on-one conversations at executive level.
That taught us something no research lab has learned: what AI needs to work inside an organization. Not more intelligence. Presence. Accountability. Continuity.
ION was not a chatbot answering queries. ION was an AI Human — with a role, a name, a mandate, and a seat at the table. It analyzed national-level data, identified issues across the country, and produced briefings for the highest levels of government.
