In the future, AI has the potential to transform urban services, from infrastructure and transportation to public safety, health, and the environment. AI is expected to become widely accessible to businesses and residents across cities. As AI advances, some believe it will become an urban utility on par with others like electricity and water.To learn how AI can help reshape cities, ThoughtLab conducted a pioneering study on the AI plans, investments, and practices of 250 cities around the world. Carried out in collaboration with ServiceNow, Deloitte, and NVIDIA, the study examined how these cities harness all varieties of AI, from machine learning and robotic process automation to generative AI (GenAI) and now Agentic AI.To provide actionable insights, ThoughtLab analyzed AI use cases and best practices across six urban domains:1.Government management and operations;2.Safety, security, and resilience;3.Living, health, and trust;4.Mobility and transportation; 5.Urban infrastructure; and6.Environment and sustainability.In addition to quantitative analysis, ThoughtLab conducted interviews with city leaders and AI specialists from business and academia. This report is the result of this research, and it is designed to serve as a roadmap to becoming an AI-powered city of the future. ThoughtLabSection 1:AI-POWERED CITIES OF THE FUTURE4AI-POWERED CITY5AI will allow cities to do what they already do better, faster, and more efficiently. But crucially, it will enable cities to do things they could never do before. For example, they could run large-scale city simulations and visualizations—beyond today’s digital twins—that could show what would happen if there were a major weather event so that cities could plan accordingly.— Jumbi Edulbehram, Global Business Development, Smart Cities and Spaces, NVIDIAAI has the power to catapult cities into the future. By leveraging data-driven insights, AI can revolutionize urban planning and resource management, from predicting trends and managing traffic to making cities more resilient and sustainable. As we weave AI with cloud computing and IoT, we’re not just creating connected cities, but equipping them to tackle complex issues like climate change. The result? A smarter, future-ready urban landscape that elevates the quality of life for all residents.— Michael Flynn, Global Le
