Starting with Smart Streetlights, How Can City Leaders Take Control of their Urban Data Assets?
Urban data is the mosaic of street-by-street, minute-by-minute information that makes up a city’s digital twin. This data is incredibly valuable for designing better city infrastructure, delivering more efficient city services, and making everything more transparent to empower citizens. It is also a potentially valuable source of city revenues. But the use of urban data has been limited by two barriers. The first is the cost of single-purpose sensors and the related cost of moving video data to the cloud. But the main problem has been one of trust – how can the Chief Data Officer apply best-practice policies to the data, and provide transparency to citizens on how that data is protected and used?

The Role of AI in the Rise of Smart Cities
Experts have forecasted the transformative effects of machine to machine (M2M) learning and artificial intelligence (AI). Fast forward to 2019 and here we are. AI is the disruptive technology that was predicted – you can see the impacts on education, jobs, financial markets and emerging services for residents. This panel of city and technology leaders will share their experiences and plans to implement AI solutions into their urban operations. Some of the key discussion topics will include; How can artificial intelligence be used in smart cities? How will AI systems be deployed? What are the benefits and risks of AI? Will everybody get access to artificial intelligence?
