Estonian General Intelligence is a podcast exploring how digitally advanced societies can navigate the unfolding era of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Hosted by strategist and Portata.ai founder Lembit Loo, the show convenes global thinkers, policymakers, system architects, and institutional reformers to examine what AGI-readiness truly entails.
Rather than amplifying AGI discourse from the usual tech epicenters, the podcast brings in perspectives from societies with deep experience in digital governance — Estonia among them — to surface insights for how public infrastructure, institutions, and sovereignty might evolve in the coming intelligence wave.
In the premiere episode of Estonian General Intelligence, host Lembit Loo welcomes Luukas Ilves – Estonia’s former Chief Information Officer and current advisor to Ukraine’s digital ministry – for a penetrating discussion on how states must reimagine governance in light of artificial general intelligence (AGI).
Drawing on his recent white paper on agentic states, Ilves outlines how digitally mature states must evolve into agentic institutions – capable not only of deploying AI, but of adapting policy, infrastructure, and ethics in real time. The episode blends global perspectives and Estonia’s long arc of digital innovation, grounded in Ukraine’s wartime agility, to surface hard-earned insights into what resilience, modularity, and sovereignty mean in an age of exponential systems.
Topics include:
– The agentic state: A next-generation governance model beyond static bureaucracy
– AI-first public services: Estonia’s experiments with AI-first service delivery
– Ukraine as a lab of necessity: Continuity and adaptation under cyber and kinetic assault
– Europe’s digital sovereignty play: Identity wallets, the AI Act, and platform diplomacy
– Ethics-as-architecture: Programming institutional values in a post-algorithmic world
This is not a technology podcast. It’s a strategy session for democratic endurance – and institutional reconfiguration – in the intelligence age.
