Can cities effectively harness AI to serve the public good in an age of computer intelligence?

As artificial intelligence reshapes industries and everyday life, the role of cities as hubs for people, jobs and research places them at the center of this transformation. Local governments are called to make decisions that could determine how infrastructure, services and equity evolve in a world increasingly influenced by algorithms.

While debates around biased outcomes, privacy and regulation continue, AI also opens up new opportunities to help cities respond to growing urban challenges more effectively and efficiently. In the fifth Cities on the Frontline session of 2025, we unpacked what’s needed to deploy these technologies responsibly, inclusively and with impact.
