Smart cities are using AI agents to audit digital content for Section 508 compliance, detect fires and fire risks, automate documentation, and provide chatbot assistance to citizens and visitors. With the amount of data cities must manage growing all the time, there’s high potential for many other agentic AI use cases to bring value to local governments.
Automation shouldn’t be risky: Automate compliance securely, without moving your data
Your team is buried under ever changing regulations, including GDPR, HIPAA, SOX, and CCPA. Manual checks are slow, error prone, and costly. But to automate, you need to to move sensitive data, creating massive new compliance risks.
Kamiwaza’s AI platform automates compliance workflows in place. We deploy intelligent agents to analyze data and documents securely, inside your firewall. Your data never moves. Your compliance is assured by design.
The compliance vs. automation standoff
You need automation to keep up with complex regulations. But the tools available create more problems than they solve.
- Data movement creates risk: To automate checks, other platforms demand you centralize sensitive customer, patient, or financial data. This violates the very regulations you’re trying to meet and creates a high value target for breaches.
- Manual checks don’t scale: Your team spends thousands of hours manually reviewing documents, running reports, and validating data across disconnected systems. This is slow, expensive, and inevitably leads to missed issues.
- Brittle RPA fails: Your compliance RPA bots break with every system update or regulation change. They can’t handle variations or understand context, requiring constant maintenance.
You are stuck between inefficient manual processes and risky, brittle automation.
