The AI disruption is transforming not only the business but also the way we live, we work, and we socialize. However, its impact in Cities and Regions seems to be limited. Here we will analyze some policies aimed at fostering AI in Cities and Regions (Barcelona, Finland and Catalonia) together with an example of the use of digital twins in cities, developed by 300.000Km/s.
This Side Event was part of the program "Focus Sessions #1 – Local actions tackling global challenges".
