Date: Thursday 24 October 2024

Length:  90 mins, including Q&A

Artificial intelligence is transforming the way cities operate, manage, and deliver services to their citizens. AI can help cities leverage the vast amounts of data they collect to generate insights, improve decision-making, and enhance efficiency. However, many cities face challenges in adopting and implementing AI solutions, such as lack of skills, resources, governance, and trust.

In this webinar, in conjunction with the LGIU (Local Government Information Unit) we explore the following areas:

• What are some of the unique challenges and opportunities faced by local governments in implementing AI solutions, and how can these challenges be overcome?
• How have you seen AI solutions differ across different regions of the world, and what can we learn from international best practices?
• How can AI be incorporated into the planning process to create more sustainable and livable cities?
• What are some of the most promising applications of AI in the transportation sector, and how can local authorities facilitate these solutions?
• How can AI be used to enhance public safety and emergency response in urban environments? What role do local governments play in transitioning from current safety practices?
