The state of Piauí has established itself as a leader in Brazil for the digitalization of public services. According to an index by the Brazilian Association of State and Public Entities of Information and Communication Technology (Abep-Tic), the state achieved a maximum score of 100 points, providing approximately 800 services through digital platforms.

Building on this digital foundation, the state government has announced investments in artificial intelligence to further streamline administration and reduce bureaucracy. Through the CapacitIA program, the government is training personnel across 70 state agencies, focusing on a strategy involving people, data, technology, and infrastructure.

Secretary André Macedo has recently highlighted the ongoing importance of the CapacitIA program, noting its role in training public servants in artificial intelligence to increase efficiency and reduce bureaucracy within public services. As the 2026 election cycle approaches, the government continues to implement these artificial intelligence initiatives to minimize bureaucratic hurdles in public service delivery.

In August 2026, Piauí maintained its leadership position by securing first place in the national ranking for the digitalization of state public services. Repeating its 2025 performance, the state achieved a maximum score of 100 points according to the Abep-Tic index. While Piauí continues to offer approximately 800 digital services, the survey noted significant disparities in digital service availability across the 26 federative units evaluated.
