Lebanon’s public institutions stand at a turning point. While longstanding challenges like under-resourcing and outdated systems continue to hinder service delivery, a powerful opportunity is emerging. A new class of AI systems, known as agentic AI, offers a transformative path toward efficient, fast and citizen-centred governance.

Our new white paper presents a practical model for deploying agentic AI in Lebanon’s public institutions. This model involves using autonomous digital agents to take on repetitive, process-driven administrative tasks while enhancing transparency, speed, and trust. It draws on insights and prototypes developed over the past three months by Siren’s Agentic AI Lab, which has been designing, building, and testing a minimum viable product tailored for public administration.

We propose a modular framework designed for Lebanon’s constraints—enabling ministries, municipalities, and agencies to deploy AI assistants across procurement, case tracking, public inquiries, compliance, finance, legislation, citizen services, and more.

Through a mission-oriented, cost-value optimization approach, we estimate that deploying AI agents efficiently could unlock between $200M to $900M per year in savings while modernizing the state and embedding good governance into its operations.
