Despite the significant potential of artificial intelligence to improve public services, most government organizations have yet to embrace AI, partly due to privacy and ethical concerns. A privacy-by-design approach that builds privacy into the design of AI systems from the start can help ensure these technologies comply with privacy regulations and protect citizens’ data while fostering innovation.
AI can transform cities through smart applications that analyze data captured from thousands of interconnected IoT devices. These applications generate insights that help municipal leaders tackle urban challenges such as traffic congestion and air pollution.

There is no denying that IoT has brought about revolutionary changes in every aspect and it is not far behind when it comes to smart cities. While the concept of smart cities has been there for a while, it gained traction because of technological advances and rapid urbanization. Typically, it deals with the planning, design, and governance alongside IoT.
The Internet of Things is one of the main drivers that leads the smart city movement. And, it refers to the interconnectedness of certain systems and devices through vast networks of sensors.

Sridhar Gadhi, Founder & Executive Chairman, USA-based Quantela, Winner of 'Technology Pioneer 2019' award, World Economic Forum, on Tuesday said that smart city development is a trillion-dollar opportunity and is estimated to be US$ 1.3 trillion in market size by 2025. Sharing his experience and his journey into delivering social impact and being profitable at the same time, Sridhar said that though cities occupied just 2 per cent of the surface area of the world they house nearly 50 percent of the world population.
A Nearly 2.5 billion people are expected to move to urban areas by 2050, he said cities create 18 per cent of the economy of our country. Cities are responsible for 75 per cent of the greenhouse gases emission, he said. But cities contribute 80% of the global GDP, Sridhar said while addressing a gathering of academic, research, industry experts, and students on day 2 of the 3-day Global Impact Summit at Woxsen University campus , about 90 kms from here.

It may sound hard to believe, but in just a few decades our cities will increase in population by 50%. If you thought your city center was crowded now, just wait! The population densities that the UN has forecasted to occur by 2050 should make us stop and think: With all those people, and cars, how will we be able to maneuver from place to place? How will we, or our children, be able to get to a school across town, or to a museum downtown?
The goal of many city planners around the world is to use innovative technologies, including cloud-based IoT (Internet of Things) devices, to evolve our metro areas into “Smart Cities” in which space — and time — are utilized with extreme efficiency. Cities will use these smart solutions to improve the urban experience for its many inhabitants. Transportation systems, perhaps the most essential element in any livable urban space, will be the leading beneficiary of this technological evolution.

Cities around the world are benefiting by implementing smart systems that capture and analyze real-time data leveraging Dell Technologies.
More cities than ever before are investing in smart city technology and changing how cities operate. There are many benefits that come along with making a city “smart.” It gives the city more information and data to help drive decision making leading to tremendous benefits that positively influence the lives of everyone who lives, works, and visits, such as:
- Reducing greenhouse gas emissions by building smart buildings that efficiently manage resources such as water and electricity,
- Less traffic congestion on the roads through solutions such as automated tolling, intelligent traffic lights, and fleet management, and
- Safer communities by reducing criminal activities through technologies such as license plate recognition, gunshot detectors and body cameras.
