TRACK

AI & Cities – Harnessing Artificial Intelligence for Urban Futures Join us! AI & Cities track, on February 12th, 2025, 9:00 AM – 12:30 PM as part of the AMLD – Applied Machine Learning Days at EPFL in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Chairs: Shin Koseki and Darío Negueruela del Castillo

In a world where cities are home to most of humanity—and will soon host 60% of us by 2050—AI is both a challenge and an opportunity. How can we use, question and govern artificial intelligence to foster inclusive, greener, and more livable cities? How do computer vision, vision-language models (VLMs), and large language models (LLMs) shape our understanding of urban spaces and governance? What are the risks, challenges and areas of opportunity?

Two sessions:

1️⃣ AI and Governance for Cities: Examining the potential and risks of AI in urban planning and policy-making.

2️⃣ Intelligent Vision for City Analysis: Showcasing how advanced vision-based AI technologies can revolutionize urban research and practice.

This intersectoral and interdisciplinary track brings together engineers, policy-makers, and academics to critically explore the intersection of AI and urban futures.
