Próspera (Roatán, Honduras) Public choice theory Quadratic funding How are decisions made? The Prime Minister is formally responsible for Diella; the Constitutional Court states AI cannot change who exercises public power or bears accountability. Unknown Unknown How are conflicts resolved?

Aims to improve public-service access and reduce discretion in public procurement. Unknown Unknown How is AI used?

Unclear accountability for an AI 'minister'; no AI law yet; no published technical detail; AKSHI's leaders face a tender-rigging case. CLM-0359 Unknown Unknown
