City Ai: A Strategic Framework for Artificial Intelligence Integration in City Development

Abstract

Large language models represented by GPT and generative AI in the image domain present potentially disruptive technological advancement. Given the potentially large economic and social impact of AI, further in-depth thinking is demanded about the ways in which AI exists in cities. In addition to discussions on ethical regulation, there are relatively few cross-cutting studies on how to realize the synergistic development of AI innovation and urban governance, especially taking AI as a complete industry and governance object, under a broader social context. Based on the policy practice of AI development in Shenzhen, this paper proposes a comprehensive framework for the integrated development of AI and the city, which involves the comprehensive consideration of technology systems, application scenarios, educational literacy and governance schemes. Meanwhile, the transformative trend of urban governance triggered by potential general artificial intelligence at a deeper level is further discussed in terms of planning concepts, digital architecture and governance decision-makings. We believe that cities and AI should integrate and promote each other to jointly serve the goal of human well-being and sustainability.
