Synopsis

AI, data, and lowering our carbon footprint with a smarter supply chain for our cities.

What's wrong with our cities? Why are they not more efficient? Dense population centers have the potential to use the power of proximity to dramatically reduce their carbon footprint, but research shows only minor benefits for people living in cities versus rural or suburban residents. This talk will discuss how artificial Intelligence can help us build cleaner cities and improve quality of life.
