City, Design and AI
Session 1 "City, Design and AI"
Sang Lee (Creative Director of Tik Tok)
What should a city in the age of artificial intelligence aspire to be and what value should it provide to its citizens? This talk provides a comprehensive view of how artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are redefining how cities function and transforming the lives of their citizens on a deeper level. Today's rapidly evolving artificial intelligence is more than just a technology, it's revolutionizing society as a whole. However, how these changes are specifically realized in urban environments and how they should be integrated into the daily lives of citizens is still an area that needs further exploration.
This talk will explore how artificial intelligence technologies can substantially improve urban environments and provide meaningful value to both individuals and communities. It will analyze the current state of AI's development and future possibilities, exploring not the technology itself, but the design potential of the technology - how it can evolve to focus on human connection, empathy, and convenience. Furthermore, it will share insights and lessons we can learn from examples of cities and countries around the world that are already using AI to revolutionize the way cities function.
This talk will provide an in-depth discussion of how the future of AI can transform our cities into smarter, more livable spaces, and point the way forward for creating citizen-centric cities. In this new era driven by AI, cities need to rethink their role as platforms to enhance the lives of their citizens, not just adopt technology.
