Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego touted the city’s embrace of AI and technology. The city is home to the largest autonomous vehicle area in the world, which helps not only the environment (all the autonomous cars are EVs), but also helps some underserved communities. For example, survivors of domestic violence may be more comfortable getting into an autonomous vehicle. In addition, the desert city is using AI technology to find ways to conserve water. And the city government is working with a local university that created a digital twin of the city. Officials can now examine the impact of potential policies on a digital twin to find unintended consequences before rolling out the policy.
