Closing the AI gap in government: Next-gen knowledge access | Elastic

What this post added

This post details how next-generation knowledge access, specifically a governed retrieval layer, is crucial for scaling AI in government. It contrasts legacy data warehouses with this new approach, emphasizing hybrid search, open integration protocols (like MCP), and security/risk controls (permission filtering, redaction, audit logs) as key architectural components. It also discusses the importance of data readiness, sovereignty by design, and choosing platforms on open standards for successful AI deployment in public sector environments.
