Cities are rapidly changing due to Artificial intelligence (AI) which is creating “AI-powered” cities or “smart” cities. These cities incorporate machine learning, data analytics and automation into the city’s infrastructure and public utility services. The benefit for city residents is improved efficiency and the benefit for national economies is exponential growth. AI cities are dependent on data. Sensors, monitors and internet-connected devices collect data on the daily consumption of energy, infrastructure safety and many event types of utilisation data. AI analyses the data and makes decisions that optimise the operation of these resources to reduce congestion and safely distribute resources. This AI provides the infrastructure and a national economy a safe and reliable way to become less expensive and more productive. AI cities also provide important economic resources, including efficiencies. A “smart” energy grid employs AI to reduce the distribution of services. This goal of the “smart” grid is to eliminate the loss of services and increase the affordability of services. In a “smart” water management system, savings of lost resources, of high value, provide for positive economic growth of the nation to be funded by other services. Of particular importance are the positive results provided to the community of healthcare and educational services. AI cities draw investment and foster innovation ecosystems. Digital infrastructure attracts technology companies, startups and research institutions. As innovation hubs develop, new products, services and business models are created. Startups, in turn, grow, scale and create jobs while raising exports and contributing to GDP growth. Employment also changes. AI and automation improve the nature of work and replace jobs.

Satellite IoT connectivity promises to lower the cost and extend the reach of wireless connectivity to the entire planet, enabling new global use cases and applications, writes Martin Lesund, Technical Product Manager – Cellular IoT, Nordic Semiconductor. The Internet of Things was originally conceived as an idea to resolve supply chain issues by having goods in transit and sensors automatically share data with each other. That idea snowballed into a grander objective to make the physical world of homes, factories and cities all smart by embedding sensing, networking, and computing into everyday objects, but the IoT has never lost its original links with supply chain management. In 2024, the supply chain IoT market was valued at $21.36 billion, and is expected to reach $55.58 billion by 2031[1]. This growth is being fuelled by the need to establish intelligent, interconnected supply chains that can enhance productivity and cost savings for the provider, as well as customer demand for transparency and traceability. Ultimately getting the right product to the right place, at the right time, in the right condition, at the right cost is non-negotiable, and that can only happen if it’s underpinned by failsafe IoT technology. Transforming supply chains Cellular IoT has become a major driver of transformation in supply chain management by bringing new levels of visibility, efficiency, and responsiveness to what was once a largely opaque process. Before cellular IoT, supply chains were often slow, fragmented, and heavily dependent on manual record-keeping. Companies tracked shipments with paper documents, phone calls, and periodic updates, which created significant blind spots. Documents moved with the goods themselves, meaning visibility only existed at certain checkpoints—such as when a container left a port or arrived at a warehouse. Cellular IoT has transformed this picture by bringing real-time visibility and continuous data flow into supply

With driverless cars a reality, what can cities do to prepare for them? Speakers at the Google Cloud Next conference in Las Vegas last week said the shift from pilot programs to implementation has accelerated in the last year, and will keep doing so. Since it began in 2009 as “the secret Google Self-Driving Car Project,” Waymo has turned a pilot project into a viable product by scaling rider-only service across multiple cities, logging more than 200 million miles of fully autonomous, driverless operation on public roads as of Feb. 2026. Waymo has already expanded into airports such as Phoenix Sky Harbor and San Jose International and is logging miles in numerous major cities nationally, including Phoenix, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Austin, Texas. Expansion to Dallas, Houston, San Antonio, Chicago, Baltimore and other markets is now in the works, while volume currently surpasses 400,000 fully autonomous, paid rides weekly. And while safety continues to be a concern, programs such as the University of Michigan’s Connected Environment and Smart Intersections Project, which focus on creating reference architecture that cities can copy for performance measures, crash reduction and traffic signal priority, are enabling autonomous vehicles and human drivers to respond better. As a result, data from the first 127 million miles of operation recorded by Waymo shows a 10-fold reduction in crashes involving serious injuries and a 12-fold reduction in crashes involving pedestrians compared to human benchmarks. The technology that propels autonomous vehicles is no longer in question. Automated vehicles like Waymo clearly can drive a city block safely. It’s the reason why U.S. competitors such as Tesla and Amazon’s Zoox are beginning to scale their factories while international players are working to drive costs down in the wake of analyst concerns about profitability. Per unit costs of autonomous vehicles, after

Dive Brief: - Mayors from Boston, San Francisco and San Antonio are among those coming together to help shape AI policy and development in the Mayors AI Forum, a coalition launched this week in conjunction with Bloomberg Philanthropies and Johns Hopkins University. - The 10 mayors appointed to the forum will work directly with AI developers to provide insight and use cases on how AI can benefit localities. - “Confronting the reality of AI and its potential to advance solutions to local challenges requires we mayors move boldly, strategically, and compassionately or else get left behind,” San Antonio Mayor Gina Ortiz Jones said in a news release. Dive Insight: AI adoption is occurring rapidly around the globe, according to Bloomberg Philanthropies. However, less than 2% of local governments are deploying AI across departments, a Euna Solutions survey of public sector finance and operations leaders found. “As I talk to cities and government leaders around the world, one thing I recognize is we are not thinking big enough” about AI, Jonathan Reichental, founder of consulting firm Human Future, told public sector leaders during a National League of Cities AI panel last year. Some of the biggest hurdles for local government adoption include privacy, security and a lack of clear state and federal guidance surrounding AI, according to the Euna Solutions survey. The U.S. mayors selected for the Mayors AI Forum have embraced the technology. San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie last year provided AI tools for some 30,000 city employees, while Boston became one of the first major U.S. cities to adopt AI guidelines in 2023. San Antonio city workers have also been actively experimenting with municipal AI projects, Axios reported in October 2025. “Boston has long been a hub for technology and innovation — and that legacy comes with a responsibility

This story was originally published on Smart Cities Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Smart Cities Dive newsletter. Dive Brief: Beep, an autonomous vehicle company, and Moia America, a Volkswagen subsidiary, are partnering on a microtransit service in Florida, the companies recently announced. Autonomous, purpose-built Volkswagen ID.Buzz electric vehicles are being tested in Lake Nona, Florida, a master-planned community in Orlando, with rides for the public expected this year. The partners aim to deploy up to 5,000 of the vehicles in Florida, other Southeast states and nationwide in the coming years, Beep CEO Kevin Reid told Smart Cities Dive. Dive Insight: Often used to provide first- and last-mile connections to fixed-route services such as buses and trains, microtransit falls between public transportation and ride-hailing services. Reid said Beep would provide both on-demand and scheduled circulator services. “We need to be able to leverage both of those things together so that we can create an on-demand capability that feeds into the circulator side,” at a price that would typically be less than ride-hailing services, he said. “MOIA America's strategic partnership with Beep in the U.S. marks an important step in supporting microtransit operators and advancing driverless mobility in public transit,” Volkswagen Autonomous Mobility Chief Commercial Officer Sascha Meyer said in a statement. Beep is testing six four-passenger vehicles in Lake Nona with safety drivers, Reid said. As deployment rolls out, some vehicles will be outfitted with accessibility options such as wheelchair lifts or ramps, he said. Beep has operated a public shuttle service in Jacksonville, Florida, since July. “Ridership has been great,” Reid said, adding that it has a mid-90% on-time performance. Cities looking to integrate microtransit should begin planning up to two years ahead, said Beep Chief Revenue Officer Toby McGraw. Projects like the

Dive Brief: - Beyond dollars and cents, city budgets are moral documents that prioritize whose voices and needs are heard in a community, said Celina Su, a professor of political science at City University of New York, during a recent webinar hosted by Philadelphia-based nonprofit Next City. - Su, who served on New York City’s participatory budgeting steering committee for a decade, described a growing movement of city residents working together to influence how public funds are allocated. Over a dozen other cities, including Chicago, Boston and Greensboro, North Carolina, have used participatory budgeting, according to HUD Exchange. The Participatory Budgeting Project reported 56 city, county and district level PB processes in 2018. - Participatory budgeting is a way to engage young people, people of color and other historically marginalized communities, which can strengthen democracy and give local policymakers insight into what residents want to see funded, said Su, author of the 2025 book “Budget Justice: On Building Grassroots Politics and Solidarities.” Dive Insight: Participatory budgeting began in Brazil, Su said, and more than 11,000 communities around the world have implemented it over the last three decades. In the U.S., Su said, she began hearing the phrase “budget justice” during the 2020 Black Lives Matter uprisings. The message was that city budgets are “designed to be anti-democratic, to prevent public accountability,” she said. “People felt like their ideas were shut down in favor of projects considered technically feasible” by policymakers and lobbyists. But budgets can act as a type of community justice, prioritizing projects residents want — things like “diaper distribution hubs, self-defense workshops for Muslim women or funding for food coops, artist coops, worker coops, school and childcare coops, CSAs, community gardens,” Su said. New York City has the nation’s largest PB initiative, Su said. During the webinar and
