How Governments Can Leverage AI with Drupal for Smarter Digital Services

Staff Reporter

Apolitical published a blog post exploring how governments can unlock the full potential of AI using Drupal CMS—an open-source platform widely adopted by US federal agencies. The post emphasises that while many governments seek new AI tools, Drupal already supports robust AI capabilities. With its structured data and strong API architecture, Drupal seamlessly integrates with AI to power smarter, more inclusive public services.

The blog post explains how AI modules within Drupal allow content editors to generate and refine text directly in the CMS, automate metadata, and enhance accessibility—for example, by improving image alt text to meet compliance standards. The post also highlights Google’s Vertex AI Search module for Drupal, developed by CivicActions, which offers secure, contextual search across internal content using natural language.

The article further outlines how Drupal, in combination with "Rules as Code" and emerging standards like the Model Context Protocol (MCP), can make laws machine-readable and enable AI systems to safely reference government services. With these tools, Drupal helps governments transition from static content to dynamic, user-centered services that are easier to build, maintain, and trust.
