MeetKai Brasil Secures SERPRO Sovereign AI Contract
After a grueling multi-month selection process, Brazil’s federal technology provider SERPRO has selected MeetKai Brasil to lead its sovereign artificial intelligence initiative. The win positions the firm to build a national platform designed to modernize public services and reduce the country's reliance on foreign-owned AI infrastructure.
James Kaplan, CEO of MeetKai, emphasized that the partnership aims to deliver secure, multilingual models capable of operating on domestic infrastructure. By training systems specifically in Portuguese, the project seeks to improve public-sector decision-making and automate administrative workflows. Peter John Alexander, President of MeetKai, noted that the firm intends to use this contract as a springboard to expand its footprint throughout the region, setting a new benchmark for public-sector AI governance.
