IS-IA (Italy’s Sovereign Intelligence Architecture) is the end-to-end architecture that Engineering makes available to companies and Public Administrations to govern the entire AI lifecycle: from infrastructure to data, from the foundation model to specialization, through to orchestration within business processes and governance.

With IS-IA we help organizations move beyond relying solely on AI systems that are difficult to govern, inspect, and certify. Artificial Intelligence thus becomes an asset that generates cumulative value over time and contributes to building a defensible and long‑lasting competitive advantage.

EngGPT 2 is the sovereign foundation model at its core, but IS-IA is what enables it to be transformed into cumulative value over time, through a growing library of reusable and certified specialized models.

 

The widespread adoption of GenAI is an urgent step for the country’s competitiveness. However, it must be fully governable in order to avoid the ‘expropriation’ of distinctive skills and know‑how from our companies and institutions. We have developed a sovereign architecture, meaning  governable and inspectable, that  enables to retain full control over data, models and infrastructure, preserving governance of cognitive assets and solutions of companies  and Institutions. 

It is not just about adopting AI: it is about building and governing it as a strategic asset for the country. IS-IA and EngGPT  2 are a concrete enabler of this vision and an opportunity to strengthen technological autonomy, innovation and growth for the country.

FAQ

AI governance helps ensure auditability, risk control, regulatory compliance and the responsible management of intelligent systems. It is an essential element for adopting AI in a reliable and trustworthy way, particularly in regulated environments and mission-critical applications.

Maintaining control over information assets requires platforms and architectures that enable organizations to govern data, models and processes within secure and verifiable environments. The goal is to transform AI from a tool that is simply used into a strategic asset that enhances and protects enterprise intelligence.

A Sovereign Intelligence Architecture is an approach that enables organizations to retain control over data, models, infrastructure and AI processes while ensuring security, transparency and regulatory compliance. IS-IA is the architecture developed by Engineering to support the adoption of governable AI under full enterprise control.
