Mpact Innovators Presents: Idea Exchange – AI for Planners

Embark on a thoughtful, hands-on exploration of AI in transit and urban planning. In a rapidly evolving digital age, artificial intelligence (AI) is not only transforming our virtual realms. It’s also influencing our urban environments. Dive into methods for fostering a more fruitful and balanced relationship with AI. Break into groups to interact with AI tools and craft a conceptual transit campaign. Learn about AI’s capabilities in forecasting urban expansion, designing safer transit routes and streamlining traffic dynamics. We’re not coming together to laud technology blindly. We want to share and critique strategies and guidelines for balanced AI adoption, learn ways to harmonize human-AI interactions and envision a future where AI aids us in crafting a more sustainable, secure and inclusive global community.
