Since the ChatGPT boom just a couple of short years ago, local governments have been assessing the ways in which artificial intelligence can help to transform our urban landscapes, and the potential to offer innovative solutions that enhance city operations and improve the quality of life for residents.

 

As cities grapple with increasing populations and resource constraints, AI presents a series of unique opportunities to streamline processes, deliver personalised services, and bolster the efficiency of municipal operations. The potential of AI to create smarter, more responsive cities is making it a critical focus for local governments, urban planners, and community leaders.

 

In our next panel discussion, hosted in partnership with Microsoft, SmartCitiesWorld is bringing together a group of experts to explore the integration of AI technologies into city operations and workflows, uncovering how they can create benefits for both communities and the local government workforce.

 

The discussion will be focused on four key areas, with panellists fielding audience questions on:

• Creating personalised community experiences: Discover how AI can tailor services and experiences to meet the unique needs of diverse urban populations
• Empowering the workforce: learn about the ways AI can augment the capabilities of local government employees, enabling them to perform their tasks more efficiently and effectively
• Bolstering operations: examine the role of AI in optimising city operations, from predictive maintenance of infrastructure to energy management and emergency response. This discussion will shed light on how AI-driven insights can lead to more resilient and sustainable urban environments.
• Data privacy and security: across all of the above, understand the importance of safeguarding data in an AI-powered city. Our experts will discuss best practices for ensuring data privacy and security, as well as how AI can support these efforts.
