Agenda:
Technological advancements are rapidly changing the landscape of city management. With the growth of urbanisation and internet (IoT) cities are generating vast amounts of data, from traffic patterns to energy usage to public health information. By leveraging data science and AI, informed decisions can be made to optimize city services, improve public safety, and enhance the quality of life for citizens.
atomcamp has already developed partnership with CITY at LUMS for trainings in the area of AI for City Management. At this webinar, Dr. Momin Upal, Associate Professor at LUMS and Prinicipal Investigator at CITY at LUMS will highlight how AI and Data Science can play a significant role in city management organised jointly by atomcamp and CITY at LUMS. Dr. Momin and his team has also been developing products and solutions for application of AI in city management in Pakistan.
