Cidadão.AI Manifesto

🇧🇷 For an Artificial Intelligence that Serves the People and Illuminates the State

Introduction

Cidadão.AI is born from the desire to make public data truly public. In times where information is power, democratizing access to government data is democratizing power itself.

Mission

Our mission is to create an artificial intelligence that works tirelessly to strengthen transparency, fight corruption, and empower every citizen with clear, accurate, and auditable information.

Transparency as Radical Practice

We believe transparency is not just showing numbers, but making them understandable, contextualized, and actionable. Our AI doesn't just collect data - it interprets, analyzes patterns, and identifies anomalies.

Vision for the Future

We dream of a Brazil where every public real is traceable, where every government decision is explainable, and where every citizen has the power to question, understand, and oversee.

"Transparency is not a favor. It is the foundation of a living democracy."

- Anderson H.

We Believe That:

  • Transparency is a fundamental right - Every citizen has the right to know how their taxes are being used.
  • Technology should democratize, not exclude - Artificial intelligence should be a tool for social inclusion, not a barrier.
  • Complexity is the enemy of transparency - Public data should be presented clearly and accessibly to everyone.
  • Civic vigilance strengthens democracy - An informed society is a stronger and more just society.
  • Cultural identity matters - Our Brazilian roots and history should be reflected in the technologies we create.

Our Commitments:

With Citizens

To provide free, accessible, and reliable tools for monitoring public spending.

With Transparency

To be transparent in our own processes, keeping our code open and documented.

With Ethics

To use AI responsibly, always prioritizing the public interest.

With Innovation

To continuously seek new ways to make public data more accessible.

With Education

To educate and empower citizens to understand and use public information.

Call to Action

This manifesto is not just words - it's a call to action. We invite:

  • Citizens: Use our tools, ask questions, demand transparency.
  • Developers: Contribute code, ideas, and improvements.
  • Journalists: Use our data to tell important stories.
  • Educators: Teach the importance of government transparency.
  • Public servants: Work with us to improve access to public data.

The Future We Want

We envision a Brazil where:

  • Every citizen can easily understand the public budget
  • Corruption is detected and prevented in real-time
  • Public decisions are based on transparent data
  • Technology serves social justice
  • Democracy is strengthened by informed participation

"In the fight for transparency, every line of code is an act of citizenship."
