 It is widely accepted that artificial intelligence and smart cities are closely related. As more and more people are moving to urban areas in search of better opportunities, there has been an increased demand for smart city solutions that can improve the overall quality of living.Â
Implementing artificial intelligence has resulted in the automation of organization processes, saving time and effort, while also avoiding costly errors. In recent times, several firms in the construction center, by collaborating with an AI development company, have also shifted to combining AI with 3D printing to reduce the expenses and time spent on building the structure.
As the infrastructure industry embraces the evolving role of artificial intelligence in building smart cities, let’s further understand the role of AI in developing intelligent urban ecosystems that help promote sustainable, efficient, and advanced living.
How Does artificial intelligence make cities smarter?
Smart city solutions powered by AI have the potential to learn from the citizen’s interactions with their communities.
AI technology has the potential to study urban dwellers and their habits to improve urban planning and management. It also has the potential to reveal hidden facts, further allowing the administrators to better anticipate the needs of its citizens and provide for them in advance.
With artificial intelligence’s ability to handle large amounts of data from various sources, it allows for the discovery of insights that can be used to boost the effectiveness and efficiency of the administrators while reducing the associated expenses.
Different sorts of issues, varying from traffic to criminality, can be solved in smart cities all because of AI and analytics based on the data collected by sensors throughout the urban environment.
Benefits of AI Development for Smart Cities
The integration of AI in construction industry has multiple benefits, ranging from an eco-friendly environment to sustainable development. Artificial intelligence in smart cities comes with multiple types of advantages, some of them are:
More Accessible Transportation System
In smart cities, clean and efficient transportation of goods, and services is essential for people. In the hope of optimizing mobility, many cities are turning to smart technology integrated with AI to ease traffic congestion and provide users with real-time updates.
Advanced Safety and Security
The safety of people in the cities is a topmost priority. The AI-enabled development of smart cities allows administrators to better monitor with CCTV cameras with facial recognition.
Infrastructure and Costing
Most of the devices, equipment, systems, and machines installed in smart cities use sensor technology to gather and analyze information such as rush hour stats from AI cameras or other security systems. The implementation of these sensors requires a sophisticated and costly infrastructure.
Optimized Energy and Water Management
In smart cities, with the help of artificial intelligence technology, the power generating grid and smart water management are the leading factors that help to produce energy with less pollution. Such an approach also helps in getting clean drinking water to keep the environment clean.
Some Potential Use Cases of AI in Smart Cities
Some of the prominent examples where artificial intelligence has played a significant role in the development of smart cities are:
Advanced Security Camera and Surveillance
AI-enabled cameras and sensors can keep an eye on the surroundings to enhance the security level in the city’s neighborhood. Such cameras are able to recognize people and their faces or track any unusual activity.
Vehicle Parking and Traffic Management System
As most of the people have their own cars, there is also a huge movement of commercial vehicles to transport people as well as goods. Hence, parking such vehicles and traffic management becomes another space where AI can assist.
Ariel View Monitoring
AI-enables drones or autonomous flying similar objects can be used to monitor the inner-city and houses or other concerning areas. The built-in cameras in drones help to provide real-time visuals of different locations humans cannot reach easily or quickly helping the administration and security departments to take timely actions.
Face Detection Cameras
Artificial intelligence in face detection technology is capable of detecting different people from their faces and disclosing their personal identities. AI in security cameras or drones can recognize human faces and match them with the database to trace the identity and authenticate the person entering the cities, societies, and other restricted areas.
Final Words
Overall, the potential of Smart City’s technology applications holds great promise of drastically changing city life. Smart cities are enhanced via computer vision and artificial intelligence technologies, further resulting in increased efficiency, productivity, safety, and economic benefit.
Smart city infrastructure also benefits from AI-powered solutions in areas like predictive maintenance, intelligent transportation systems, and automated energy response. As smart cities continue to evolve, the role of artificial intelligence technology also becomes increasingly integral in creating sustainable, resilient, and interconnected urban environments.
