The Portuguese government has announced a major new development phase for Amália—the nation's homegrown artificial intelligence model. The assistant is expanding to read, hear, and see text, voice, and images, as highlighted in recent industry news.
Portuguese artificial intelligence for government services
A key part of this rollout involves placing the AI prototype into public service counters. By integrating Amália into administrative desks, the state aims to streamline citizen assistance and create specialized tech jobs.
To power this training phase, the initiative relies on:
- Cultural Archives: Using datasets from national libraries, film archives, and museums.
- Media Collaboration: Working with news organizations to secure compensated access to archives.
- Financial Backing: Using funding from the Recovery and Resilience Plan (PRR) to boost national tech independence.
Scaling AI assistants in public administration Portugal
Developed by leading Portuguese universities and research institutions, Amália marks a major step forward for national digital sovereignty. Whether citizens interact with public desks or digital portals, this native tool ensures that European Portuguese language and culture are fully protected in modern technology.
