Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming lives and beginning to transform our cities too. Cities are getting smarter thanks to the enormous growth in AI-powered processing. AI can be used in smart cities to analyze and track city functions and generate data that in turn helps with policy decisions. This page shares the latest information and literature on how cities, countries and industries are harnessing the power of AI.
