Paris, France – AI71, a UAE-based AI venture specializing in transformative enterprise solutions, unveiled an initiative aimed at empowering governments during the AI Action Summit in Paris today.

The initiative, called AskGOV, will empower governments to deploy customized AI solutions that will improve access to key information and services for its citizens.

AskGOV streamlines access to public information, delivers human-like, multi-lingual support around-the-clock, improves wait-times, and strengthens engagement and trust between governments and their citizens.

Mehdi Ghissassi, the Chief Product Officer at AI71, said: “With AskGOV, we’re excited to partner with governments and enterprises globally to create tailored solutions. This initiative showcases AI71’s dedication to advancing AI for the public good and solidifies our position as a trusted global partner.” 

Recognized as one of the top 50 projects from over 770 submissions across 111 countries in the Paris Peace Forum’s Call for AI Projects, this initiative stands out as the only Middle Eastern project selected. Moreover, it is one of just 10 projects chosen to be pitched during the event, underscoring its innovative impact on public service delivery.

Anushe Sheikh, a product manager at AI71 who is leading the initiative, “AskGOV is designed to make government services more accessible, efficient, and transparent. By tailoring AI solutions to the needs of each client, we’re ensuring AI is applied responsibly—improving public trust, streamlining services, and making critical information more accessible to communities that need it most.”

This project is currently underway in Abu Dhabi, where AI71 is working to support the unified government services platform by integrating large LLMs to improve efficiency, accessibility, and responsiveness in public services.
