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.
Your best insights are trapped by security: Analyze sensitive data without moving It
Your most valuable data is locked away. It’s trapped by compliance rules, security policies, and data gravity. You can’t move it to the cloud for analysis without creating massive risk.
Kamiwaza’s AI platform enables secure analytics by bringing the analysis to your data. Run complex AI models directly on sensitive information where it lives, inside your firewall, without ever exposing it.
The analytics vs. security standoff
You’re caught in an impossible situation. Your business demands deeper insights from your most sensitive data, but your security and compliance teams say “no.”
- Data can’t move: Regulations like GDPR, HIPAA, and CCPA prohibit moving sensitive customer, patient, or financial data. Security policies block access to critical IP.
- Centralization is too risky: Copying all your sensitive data to one central “analytics lake” creates a single, high-value target for attackers. A breach would be catastrophic.
- Traditional tools fail: Your current analytics platforms require data movement. They can’t operate securely inside your protected environments or across distributed systems.
You’re forced to make decisions based on incomplete, sampled, or old data. Your best insights remain locked away.
Run any analysis securely, anywhere
Kamiwaza’s platform uses distributed AI orchestration to bring the analysis to the data. Your sensitive information stays safe within its original, secure location.
Analyze data in place
Our AI agents deploy directly to your secure systems. Whether it is on-prem, in a private cloud, or at the edge. They process data locally without copying or moving it.
Federated intelligence
Gain insights across multiple secure datasets without pooling them. Analyze customer behavior across regions without violating GDPR. Compare clinical trial results without exposing patient data. Our agents share insights, not raw data.
Privacy-preserving techniques
We enable advanced analytics while guaranteeing privacy. Use techniques like differential privacy to get statistical insights without revealing individual records. Our architecture makes privacy a feature, not a policy.
How leaders gain insights without risk
- Financial services: Banks analyze global trading patterns across multiple jurisdictions. They do this without ever moving sensitive transaction data across borders, ensuring 100% compliance.
- Healthcare providers: Hospitals analyze patient outcomes across facilities. They achieve this without centralizing PHI, maintaining strict HIPAA compliance while improving care.
- Government agencies: Agencies perform intelligence analysis across different classification levels. Secure agents process data within each boundary, sharing only approved insights upward.
Analytics that work with your security
- Zero data movement: Our core principle. Your sensitive data never leaves its secure environment. Compliance is built in.
- Works across all your systems: We connect securely to your cloud, on-prem, and edge data sources. No system is too old or too isolated.
- Unified Intelligence: Get a single, consistent view across all your distributed, secure data without creating risky central repositories.
- Full auditability: Every query and analysis performed by our agents is logged. You have a complete, auditable trail proving compliance.

The benefits of agentic AI for smart cities
Launch use cases quickly
With a production-ready solution, smart cities can quickly pilot use cases, make adjustments, and deploy agents at scale.
Scale across departments
Kamiwaza’s Distributed Data Engine means AI agents can process information across departments and systems without having to move data or compromise security.
Protect sensitive data
Maintain control of sensitive data within a secure, future-ready framework.
Achieve Section 508 compliance
The ARIA AI agent from Kamiwaza acts as Section 508 compliance testing and remediation software, helping cities meet digital accessibility requirements.
Agentic AI use cases for smart cities
The HPE Agentic Smart City Solution empowers a new class of AI use cases that help municipalities save time, reduce operational costs, and provide better services to citizens and visitors.
Section 508 compliance for digital accessibility
ARIA by Kamiwaza scans and automatically fixes digital content to ensure it meets accessibility standards, including Section 508 and ADA requirements for government agencies. This autonomous agent can independently audit websites, identify accessibility issues, and provide developers with fixes. Developed in partnership with HPE and SHI, ARIA helps local governments keep their digital presence compliant as their web footprints evolve.
Fire prevention and early detection
A comprehensive fire detection system for local fire departments includes AI-powered visual streaming from ProHawk and computer vision from Vaidio. Kamiwaza allows the model to assess the state of the fire, identifies the presence of people or wildlife, and generates an emergency response plan to help first responders arrive with the right equipment and information. SHI delivers system integration on HPE servers.
Deed restriction automation
Kamiwaza built a document processing agent that can review hundreds of distributed documents on deed-restricted properties. The agent extracts key data, answers compliance questions, and generates reports, reducing a weeks-long process to just hours. By automating this complex and resource-intensive process, municipalities can save time for brokers and homeowners while reducing data entry errors.
Digital AI ambassador
A digital AI ambassador can act as the first line of support for visitors, resolving common questions quickly. Kamiwaza's Inference Mesh retrieves live information from public documents, including details about parking, services, and events. The concierge can respond in real time with accurate, up-to-date information, reducing the burden on city employees.
FAQs about AI-powered smart cities
What are some agentic AI use cases for smart cities?
What agentic AI solutions are available for smart cities?
Standalone hardware and software for agentic AI can analyze data from connected devices, sensors, and systems to automate processes. Integrated solutions like the HPE Agentic Smart City Solution combines hardware, software, and services into a single platform.
How can cities use AI on data from different sources?
Many cities have an overwhelming amount of data distributed across incompatible legacy systems and siloed departmental records. IT teams may be concerned that this means their data isn’t ready to be processed by AI. However, AI orchestration from Kamiwaza can access and process data without moving it, making it possible for cities to use AI agents on virtually all of their data.
How do I make my website Section 508 compliant?
To make their websites compliant with the Section 508 federal standard for digital accessibility, cities must ensure all content meets certain requirements. For example, images must have descriptive text, videos must have captions and transcripts, content must be structured with headings, interactive elements must be navigable using the keyboard, and content must have sufficient color contrast.
What are the best solutions for Section 508 compliance testing software?
There are a variety of automated tools that offer Section 508 compliance services, including document testing software and screen readers. Kamiwaza's ARIA (Accessibility Remediation Intelligence Agent) is an AI-powered agent designed to audit and fix digital content so that it meets Section 508 and ADA requirements. This autonomous agent audits websites, flags accessibility issues, guides developers with clear fixes, and adapts as requirements change. Because it can work at scale, ARIA is ideal for municipalities, who often have to work across many different departments and systems.
