Description

Deep learning: Governing the City in the Age of Artificial Intelligence. The diffusion of AI across city life & city space will transform cities & their governance. First-mover cities (eg London, Singapore, NY) are devising novel frameworks to govern AI urbanism, AIs’ emergent capabilities and the risks autonomous, algorithmic decision-making pose to urban life. Australian cities, on the precipice of this transformation, urgently require such frameworks. Analysing the governance of AI urbanism internationally, this project aims to develop new empirical understanding of and conceptual frameworks for urban governance involving non-human intelligences. Its outcomes will guide the development of appropriate institutions and practices to govern AI urbanism to mitigate inherent risks and enhance urban outcomes.. Scheme: Discovery Projects. Field: 4406 - Human Geography. Lead: Dr Sophia Maalsen
