Kore.ai has partnered with Atos to develop sovereign artificial intelligence (AI) solutions for regulated organisations in the United Kingdom, as businesses prepare for stricter AI governance requirements.
The companies said the partnership combines Kore.ai’s Artemis agent platform with Atos UK & Ireland’s Sovereign Agentic Studio to help organisations deploy AI agents in sectors including financial services, healthcare, defence, the public sector and critical national infrastructure.
The joint offering is designed to support enterprises moving AI applications from pilot projects to production while meeting governance, security and compliance requirements.
Under the agreement, AI agents will be deployed through Atos’ UK-based Sovereign Agentic Studio, allowing organisations to operate AI systems within domestic infrastructure and regulatory boundaries.
The announcement comes as governments and businesses place greater emphasis on sovereign AI, seeking greater control over data, infrastructure and compliance as enterprise adoption of generative AI accelerates.
“Our Sovereign Agentic Studio was built to turn AI ambition into operational reality, safely and at scale,” Mike Hill, Head of Technology at Atos UK & Ireland, said in a statement.
Kore.ai Chief Executive Officer Raj Koneru said enterprise AI adoption would increasingly depend on governed systems capable of operating reliably at scale rather than individual AI agents.
The partnership also comes ahead of key provisions of the European Union Artificial Intelligence Act taking effect in August 2026. The regulation introduces new obligations for organisations deploying AI systems, particularly in regulated industries where transparency, governance and risk management are required.
The companies said the joint platform is designed to address those requirements by incorporating governance, explainability, observability and operational controls into AI deployments.
Kore.ai said its Artemis platform includes technologies such as Agent Blueprint Language (ABL), an AI architecture tool called Arch and a framework that combines agentic reasoning with deterministic controls for enterprise applications.
