FITTING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN THE SMART CITY FRAMEWORK

 A smart city has its own challenges, which can range from cleanliness to law & order. AI can fit seamlessly in the smart city framework as it can help address issues like convenience, safety, and security.

 

Artificial Intelligence is finding applications in smart city solutions. When one looks at one's immediate surroundings, one will easily find that AI is slowly taking over. With advancements in IT, the use of data analytics and AI is growing. NEC India has been at the forefront of exploiting the possibilities that AI offers for offering solutions for smart cities.






There is a growing emphasis on developing a data economy. The vision of Digital India dovetails with the use of AI and Data Analytics. We have already started seeing the benefits of Aadhaar, which has helped in maintaining the biometric data of all the citizens on servers. But the possibilities are vast.


AI can help in making possible efficient use of the resources available in a city, ensuring sustainability. Traffic control, reducing congestion, enhancing security through advanced crowd management, and offering a better quality of life for residents is possible.


Many people go missing in cities, and AI can help the Police look for them. Integrating the Automated Facial Recognition System (AFRS) to ensure a seamless exchange of information to avert and solve crimes and find missing persons. Convenience for the citizens should be the primary goal of the administration. AI-enabled chatbots can be used to answer queries of users.


Cleanliness has long been a cherished dream for city dwellers. Apps can use AI to digitally affirm the state of toilets. Grievances about cleanliness can be registered using these Apps.


Taxation has been a problem for the authorities, with many people avoiding it, leading to a shortage of funds. Governance issues can be resolved using AI. Goods and Services Tax Network (GSTN) can benefit from AI while tracking and analyzing tax evasion issues. AI can also be applied in e-Governance to streamline processes and ease compliance burdens.


Education for all has been a dream. But, with many people migrating to cities, it is becoming a challenge. AI can be utilized in E-Pathshala to provide text-to-speech and text translation systems, making learning materials more accessible in multiple Indian languages. It can also facilitate interoperability among teachers across states.
