Smart City • By 2030, roughly 66%, or 5 billion people will live in urban areas. It is about 80% of the urban population in Western and Industrialized countries. It is expected that Asia and Africa will reach at 50% of urban population by 2020 and 2035, respectively. The urban life is consisting of various environmental hazards like, lower level of sustainability, more energy consumption, more population and more waste generation etc. This not only represents a massive challenge in how we build and manage cities but a significant opportunity to improve the lives of billions of Smart City • Rising to that challenge, engineers worldwide are turning to new technology ‐ such as the Cyber Physical Systems, 5G, AI and data analytics ‐ searching for new approaches and solutions that will improve city transportation, water and waste management, energy usage, and a host of other infrastructure is sues that underpin the operation of cities and the lifestyle of urban citizens. The city should be “Smart” after practicing these ways through smart programming and planning management. Smart City • A smart city is an innovative city that uses information and communication technologies (ICTs) and other means to improve quality of life, efficiency of urban operation and services, and competitiveness, while ensuring that it meets the needs of present and future generations with respect to economic, social and environmental aspects. Smart City
•A smart city is an urban area that uses
different types of electronic data collection sensors to supply information which is used to manage assets and resources efficiently. • A smart city may therefore be more prepared to respond to challenges than one with a simple "transactional" relationship with its citizens. Smart City • Smart city as high-tech intensive and advanced city that connects people, information, and city elements using new technologies in order to create a sustainable, greener city, competitive and innovative commerce and increased life quality. • Smart city means using all available technologies and resources, investing in human and social capital for improving the quality of life for everyone. Characteristics of Smart City Components of Smart City Smart City as Complex ecosystem Technological ecosystem Technology Behind Smart City • https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=Br5aJa6MkBc Technologies of Smart City • Open-data initiatives: New York City's BigApps competition, which produce useful and resource-saving apps to improve cities and keep citizens informed. Things like air quality, restaurant sanitation scores, building inspection scores and impending legislation should be readily available for all citizens. • Parking apps that show drivers where the nearest available parking spot it. These will save commuters time, gas, emissions and money, while also easing the flow of traffic. Technologies of Smart City • Apps that let users "adopt" city property — trash cans, call boxes, trees, fire hydrants, etc. — so the city doesn't have to spend money sending personnel to tend to them. Boston and Honolulu already have something similar in place, through Code for America, and these projects make citizens feel more invested in their neighborhood. • High-tech waste management systems. Pay As You Throw (PAYT) garbage disposal would encourage people to recycle more and waste less, while using tools like RFID could improve sorting so recyclable plastic bottles don't end up in landfills. Technologies of Smart City
• All-digital and easy-to-use
parking payment systems — think EZ-pass for parking. We don't want to put receipts on the dashboard or be confined to time limits that make us run out to put more coins in the meter (if you're going to keep money meters, at least let us add money via an app). It's fine that you charge for parking, but improve the system. • A city guide app, with information about museums, parks, landmarks, public art, restaurants and real- time traffic data. These apps help citizens and tourists alike improve their experience in the city. Technologies of Smart City • Touchscreens around the city — whether it's a kiosk to buy a MetroCard or the TVs in taxis — should be bacteria-resistant. • Wi-Fi in subway stations and on trains, along with weather information at every station. • Sustainable and energy efficient residential and commercial real estate. • Dynamic kiosks that display real-time information, concerning traffic, weather and local news, like Urbanflow in Helsinki. • App or social media-based emergency alert and crisis response systems — every citizen should have access to vital information. Whether it's an alert about a crime that just happened or advice for a Urbanflow Technologies of Smart City
• Police forces that use real-time data to monitor
and prevent crime. • More public transit, high-speed trains, and bus rapid transit (BRT) to help citizens traverse the city with speed and low emissions. • Smart climate control systems in homes and businesses, for example, the Nest thermostat. Technologies of Smart City
• Nest was one of the most famous and successful
artificial intelligence startups and it was acquired by Google in 2014 for $3.2 billion. The Nest Learning Thermostat uses behavioral algorithms to save energy based on your behavior and schedule. • It employs a very intelligent machine learning process that learns the temperature you like and programs itself in about a week. Moreover, it will automatically turn off to save energy, if nobody is at home. • In fact, it is a combination of both – artificial intelligence as well as Bluetooth low-energy. Technologies of Smart City • Charging stations, like the solar-powered Strawberry Tree in Serbia. They also function as bus stops and Wi-Fi hot spots. Technologies of Smart City • Roofs covered with solar panels or gardens. You could even generate solar energy on bike paths, like Amsterdam's SolaRoad. Technologies of Smart City • Bike-sharing programs, like in Paris, Washington, D.C., and the ones coming to Los Angeles and New York. And bike parking would be nice, too — maybe even underground and machine-driven, like the Eco Cycle in Japan. Technologies of Smart City
•A sharing economy, instead of a buying
economy. If we share or rent from each other, we each need to buy and store fewer goods — think Rent the Runway, Netflix, Airbnb. On a similar note, there should be apps to help you find charities that actually need the stuff you want to toss, such as Zealous Good in Chicago. Technologies of Smart City • Airbnb is an American company which operates an online marketplace and hospitality service for people to lease or rent short-term lodging including holiday cottages, apartments, homestays, hostel beds, or hotel rooms, to participate in or facilitate experiences related to tourism such as walking tours, and to make reservations at restaurants. The company does not own any real estate or conduct tours; it is a broker which receives percentage service fees in conjunction with every booking. Like all hospitality services, Airbnb is an example of collaborative consumption and sharing Technologies of Smart City • Netflix specializes in and provides streaming media and video-on-demand online and DVD by mail. In 2013, Netflix expanded into film and television production as well as online distribution. • It is a widely popular content-on-demand service that uses predictive technology to offer recommendations on the basis of consumers’ reaction, interests, choices, and behavior. The technology examines from a number of records to recommend movies based on your previous liking and reactions. Technologies of Smart City • Widespread use of traffic rerouting apps, such as Greenway and Waze. The average person spends 60 hours in traffic each year, according to Greenway; these apps calculate the best route for each driver to speed up traffic flow and reduce CO2 emissions. They also ensure that a traffic jam on one boulevard doesn't just get displaced to another area. Technologies of Smart City
• Water-recycling systems, because while water
covers 70% of the earth, we're not preserving the resource the way we should. • Crowdsourced urban planning, like Brickstarter. Brickstarter is a Finland-based civic crowdfunding website. The site focuses on crowdfunding urban renewal, architectural and public art projects Technologies of Smart City
• Broadband Internet access for all citizens —
maybe Google Fiber? — which will reduce the digital divide and spur economic growth. • Mobile payments. Everywhere. For food, apparel and public transportation. • Ride-sharing programs: Because it's a waste of money and gas to have two cars go the same place when neither is filled to capacity. Uber, Pathao Future of Technology for Smart City Cloud of Things: ClouT Cloud of Things: ClouT
• ClouT’s overall concept is leveraging the
Cloud Computing as an enabler to bridge the Internet of Things with Internet of People via Internet of Services, to establish an efficient communication and collaboration platform exploiting all possible information sources to make the cities smarter and to help them facing the emerging challenges such as efficient energy management, economic growth and development. Cloud of Things: ClouT Future of Technology for Smart City Smart Home •A home equipped with lighting, heating, and electronic devices that can be controlled remotely by smartphone or computer. • Smart Home" is the term commonly used to define a residence that has appliances, lighting, heating, air conditioning, TVs, computers, entertainment audio & video systems, security, and camera systems that are capable of communicating with one another and can be controlled remotely by a time schedule, from any room in the home, as well as remotely from any location in the world by phone or internet. Smart Home Devices • Many smart home devices now include the ability to learn your behavior patterns and help you save money by adjusting the settings on your thermostat or other appliances in an effort to increase convenience and save energy. For example, turning your oven on when you leave work instead of waiting to get home is a very convenient ability. A thermostat that knows when you’re home and adjusts the temperature accordingly can help you save money by not heating the house when you’re out. Smart Home Devices
• Lighting is another place where you might see
basic artificial intelligence; by setting defaults and preferences, the lights around your house (both inside and outside) might adjust based on where you are and what you’re doing; dimmer for watching TV, brighter for cooking, and somewhere in the middle for eating, for example. The uses of AI in smart homes are limited only by our imagination. Artificial intelligence • Artificial intelligence (AI) is an area of computer science that emphasizes the creation of intelligent machines that work and react like humans. Some of the activities computers with artificial intelligence are designed for include: o Speech recognition o Learning o Planning o Problem solving Artificial intelligence
• Artificialintelligence is the simulation of
human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. These processes include learning (the acquisition of information and rules for using the information), reasoning (using the rules to reach approximate or definite conclusions), and self-correction. Particular applications of AI include expert systems, speech recognition and machine vision. Types of artificial intelligence • Type 1: Reactive machines. An example is Deep Blue, the IBM chess program that beat Garry Kasparov in the 1990s. Deep Blue can identify pieces on the chess board and make predictions, but it has no memory and cannot use past experiences to inform future ones. It analyzes possible moves -- its own and its opponent -- and chooses the most strategic move. Deep Blue and Google's AlphaGO were designed for narrow purposes and cannot easily be applied to another situation. Types of artificial intelligence • Type 2: Limited memory. These AI systems can use past experiences to inform future decisions. Some of the decision-making functions in autonomous vehicles have been designed this way. Observations used to inform actions happening in the not-so-distant future, such as a car that has changed lanes. These observations are not stored permanently. • Type 3: Theory of mind. This is a psychology term. It refers to the understanding that others have their own beliefs, desires and intentions that impact the decisions they make. This kind of AI does not yet exist. Types of artificial intelligence
• Type 4: Self-awareness. In this category, AI
systems have a sense of self, have consciousness. Machines with self- awareness understand their current state and can use the information to infer what others are feeling. This type of AI does not yet exist. Examples of AI technology • Automation is the process of making a system or process function automatically. Robotic process automation, for example, can be programmed to perform high-volume, repeatable tasks normally performed by humans. RPA is different from IT automation in that it can adapt to changing circumstances. • Robots are often used to perform tasks that are difficult for humans to perform or perform consistently. They are used in assembly lines for car production or by NASA to move large objects in space. More recently, researchers are using machine learning to build robots that can interact Examples of AI technology • Robotics is also a major field related to AI. Robots require intelligence to handle tasks such as object manipulation and navigation, along with sub-problems of localization, motion planning and mapping. • Robotics is an interdisciplinary branch of engineering and science that includes mechanical engineering, electrical engineering , computer science, and others. Robotics deals with the design, construction, operation, and use of robots, as well as computer systems for their control, sensory feedback, and information processing. • https:// www.youtube.com/watch?v=dMrX08PxUNY& feature=youtu.be Examples of AI technology • Machine learning is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) that allows software applications to become more accurate in predicting outcomes without being explicitly programmed. The basic premise of machine learning is to build algorithms that can receive input data and use statistical analysis to predict an output value within an acceptable range. • Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that machines should be able to learn and adapt Examples of AI technology • Machine Learning is the science of getting computers to learn and act like humans do, and improve their learning over time in autonomous fashion, by feeding them data and information in the form of observations and real-world interactions.” • Machine learning is the science of getting a computer to act without programming. • Mathematical analysis of machine learning algorithms and their performance is a well- defined branch of theoretical computer science often referred to as computational learning theory. Examples of AI technology • Machine learning algorithms are often categorized as being supervised or unsupervised. Supervised algorithms require humans to provide both input and desired output, in addition to furnishing feedback about the accuracy of predictions during training. Once training is complete, the algorithm will apply what was learned to new data. Unsupervised algorithms do not need to be trained with desired outcome data. Instead, they use an iterative approach called deep learning to review data and arrive at conclusions. Unsupervised learning algorithms are used for more complex processing tasks than supervised learning Examples of AI technology
• Deep learning is a subset of machine learning
that, in very simple terms, can be thought of as the automation of predictive analytics. • Deep learning (also known as deep structured learning or hierarchical learning) is part of a broader family of machine learning methods based on learning data representations, as opposed to task-specific algorithms. Learning can be supervised, semi-supervised or unsupervised. Examples of AI technology • The processes involved in machine learning are similar to that of data mining and predictive modeling. Both require searching through data to look for patterns and adjusting program actions accordingly. Many people are familiar with machine learning from shopping on the internet and being served ads related to their purchase. This happens because recommendation engines use machine learning to personalize online ad delivery in almost real time. Beyond personalized marketing, other common machine learning use cases include fraud detection, spam filtering, network security threat detection, predictive maintenance and building news feeds. Examples of AI technology • Facebook's News Feed, for example, uses machine learning to personalize each member's feed. If a member frequently stops scrolling to read or "like" a particular friend's posts, the News Feed will start to show more of that friend's activity earlier in the feed. Behind the scenes, the software is simply using statistical analysis and predictive analytics to identify patterns in the user's data and use those patterns to populate the News Feed. Should the member no longer stop to read, like or comment on the friend's posts, that new data will be included in the data set and the News Feed will adjust accordingly. Examples of AI technology • Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are two very hot buzzwords right now, and often seem to be used interchangeably. • They are not quite the same thing, but the perception that they are can sometimes lead to some confusion. So I thought it would be worth writing a piece to explain the difference. • Both terms crop up very frequently when the topic is Big Data, analytics, and the broader waves of technological change which are sweeping through our world. Examples of AI technology • In short, the best answer is that: • Artificial Intelligence is the broader concept of machines being able to carry out tasks in a way that we would consider “smart”. • And, • Machine Learning is a current application of AI based around the idea that we should really just be able to give machines access to data and let them learn for themselves. Examples of AI technology • Machine vision (MV) is the technology and methods used to provide imaging-based automatic inspection and analysis for such applications as automatic inspection, process control, and robot guidance, usually in industry. Machine vision is a term encompassing a large number of technologies, software and hardware products, integrated systems, actions, methods and expertise. Machine vision as a systems engineering discipline can be considered distinct from computer vision, a form of computer science. It attempts to integrate existing technologies in new ways and apply them to solve Examples of AI technology • Machine vision is the science of making computers see. Machine vision captures and analyzes visual information using a camera, analog-to-digital conversion and digital signal processing. It is often compared to human eyesight, but machine vision isn't bound by biology and can be programmed to see through walls, for example. It is used in a range of applications from signature identification to medical image analysis. Computer vision, which is focused on machine-based image processing, is often conflated with machine vision. Examples of AI technology
• Natural language processing (NLP) is the
processing of human -- and not computer -- language by a computer program. One of the older and best known examples of NLP is spam detection, which looks at the subject line and the text of an email and decides if it's junk. Current approaches to NLP are based on machine learning. NLP tasks include text translation, sentiment analysis and speech recognition. AI applications • AI in healthcare. The biggest bets are on improving patient outcomes and reducing costs. Companies are applying machine learning to make better and faster diagnoses than humans. One of the best known healthcare technologies is IBM Watson. It understands natural language and is capable of responding to questions asked of it. The system mines patient data and other available data sources to form a hypothesis, which it then presents with a confidence scoring schema. Other AI applications include chatbots, a computer program used online to answer questions and assist customers, to help schedule follow-up appointments or aiding patients through the billing process, and virtual health assistants that provide AI applications • AI in business. Robotic process automation is being applied to highly repetitive tasks normally performed by humans. Machine learning algorithms are being integrated into analytics and CRM platforms to uncover information on how to better serve customers. Chatbots have been incorporated into websites to provide immediate service to customers. Automation of job positions has also become a talking point among academics and IT consultancies such as Gartner and Forrester. AI applications • AI in education. AI can automate grading, giving educators more time. AI can assess students and adapt to their needs, helping them work at their own pace. AI tutors can provide additional support to students, ensuring they stay on track. AI could change where and how students learn, perhaps even replacing some teachers. • AI in finance. AI applied to personal finance applications, such as Mint or Turbo Tax, is upending financial institutions. Applications such as these could collect personal data and provide financial advice. Other programs, IBM Watson being one, have been applied to the process of buying a home. AI applications • AI in law. The discovery process, sifting through of documents, in law is often overwhelming for humans. Automating this process is a better use of time and a more efficient process. Startups are also building question-and-answer computer assistants that can sift programmed-to-answer questions by examining the taxonomy and ontology associated with a database. • AI in manufacturing. This is an area that has been at the forefront of incorporating robots into the workflow. Industrial robots used to perform single tasks and were separated from human workers, but as the technology advanced that AI applications • An industrial robot is a robot system used for manufacturing. Industrial robots are automated, programmable and capable of movement on two or more axes. • Virtual Personal Assistants We know of Siri for iPhone, Cortana for Windows and Google Now for Android, all of which are AIs who are our intelligent virtual personal assistants. When we say load the latest news they do. To listen to our favourite we just ask them to play it. They are programmed to follow your instructions textual or voice or both and based on inputs performs requisite tasks making them good examples of AI in everyday use. In short, they help find useful information when you ask for it using your voice; you can say “Where’s the nearest Chinese restaurant?”, “What’s on my schedule today?”, “Remind me to call Jerry at eight o’clock,” and the assistant will respond by finding information, relaying information from your phone, or • Virtual Personal Assistants • Siri is one of the most popular personal assistant offered by Apple in iPhone and iPad. The friendly female voice-activated assistant interacts with the user on a daily routine. She assists us to find information, get directions, send messages, make voice calls, open applications and add events to the calendar. • Siri uses machine-learning technology in order to get smarter and capable-to-understand natural language questions and requests. It is surely one of the most iconic examples of machine learning abilities of gadgets. • Virtual Personal Assistants AI is important in these apps, as they collect information on your requests and use that information to better recognize your speech and serve you results that are tailored to your preferences. Microsoft says that Cortana “continually learns about its user” and that it will eventually develop the ability to anticipate users’ needs. Virtual personal assistants process a huge amount of data from a variety of sources to learn about users and be more effective in helping them organize and track their information. • Virtual Personal Assistants • Echo was launched by Amazon, which is getting smarter and adding new features. It is a revolutionary product that can help you to search the web for information, schedule appointments, shop, control lights, switches, thermostats, answers questions, reads audiobooks, reports traffic and weather, gives info on local businesses, provides sports scores and schedules, and more using the Alexa Voice Service. • Personalization When you search for something on Google for quite some time you end up getting a lot of related advertisements. This is the work of AI in personalizing advertisements to reach the right audience. The same personalization is what makes News Feed of Facebook behave in the fashion. This personalization done by AI is everywhere around us. • Online Search When talking about AI application, one cannot omit probably the most significant one, which is of course Online Search Engines. Online Search Engines are AIs that optimize and arrange data and information for your taking. For instance, when you search for something and instead of choosing any result from the list so displayed and by using another search string, the AI will come to the conclusion that those are not the best results for that search string and optimizes the search by understanding on what you finally relied on. This is but one instance of the search engines • Video Games One of the instances of AI that most people are probably familiar with, video game AI has been used for a very long time—since the very first video games, in fact. But the complexity and effectiveness of that AI has increased exponentially over the past several decades, resulting in video game characters that learn your behaviors, respond to stimuli, and react in unpredictable ways. 2014’s Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor is especially notable for the individual personalities given to each non- player character, their memories of past interaction, and their variable objectives. • Smart Cars You probably haven’t seen someone reading the newspaper while driving to work yet, but self-driving cars are moving closer and closer to reality; Google’s self-driving car project and Tesla’s “autopilot” feature are two examples that have been in the news lately. Earlier this year, the Washington Post reported on an algorithm developed by Google that could potentially let self-driving cars learn to drive in the same way that humans do: through experience. Smart Cars •Tesla •Not only smartphones but automobiles are also shifting towards Artificial Intelligence. Tesla is something you are missing if you are a car geek. This is one of the best automobiles available until now. The car has not only been able to achieve many accolades but also features like self-driving, predictive capabilities, and absolute technological innovation. •If you are a technology geek, Tesla is one you need in your garage. The car is getting smarter day by day through over the air updates. • Purchase Prediction Large retailers like Target and Amazon stand to make a lot of money if they can anticipate your needs. Amazon’s anticipatory shipping project hopes to send you items before you need them, completely obviating the need for a last-minute trip to the online store. While that technology isn’t yet in place, brick-and-mortar retailers are using the same ideas with coupons; when you go to the store, you’re often given a number of coupons that have been selected by a predictive analytics algorithm. • Purchase Prediction This can be used in a wide variety of ways, whether it’s sending you coupons, offering you discounts, targeting advertisements, or stocking warehouses that are close to your home with products that you’re likely to buy. As you can imagine, this is a rather controversial use of AI, and it makes many people nervous about potential privacy violations from the use of predictive analytics. • Fraud Detection Have you ever gotten an email or a letter asking you if you made a specific purchase on your credit card? Many banks send these types of communications if they think there’s a chance that fraud may have been committed on your account, and want to make sure that you approve the purchase before sending money over to another company. Artificial intelligence is often the technology deployed to monitor for this type of fraud. • Online Customer Support Many websites now offer customers the opportunity to chat with a customer support representative while they’re browsing—but not every site actually has a live person on the other end of the line. In many cases, you’re talking to a rudimentary AI. Many of these chat support bots amount to little more than automated responders, but some of them are actually able to extract knowledge from the website and present it to customers when they ask for it. • Online Customer Support Perhaps most interestingly, these chat bots need to be adept at understanding natural language, which is a rather difficult proposition; the way in which customers talk and the way in which computers talk is very different, and teaching a machine to translate between the two isn’t easy. But with rapid advances in natural language processing (NLP), these bots are getting better all the time. • Online Customer Support • Cogito originally co-founded by Dr. Sandy and Joshua is one of the best examples of the behavioral version to improve the intelligence of customer support representatives, currently on the market. The company is a synthesis of machine learning and behavioral science to enhance customer collaboration for phone professionals. • Cogito is applicable on millions of voice calls that take place on a daily basis. The AI solution analyzes the human voice and provides real- time guidance to enhance behavior. • News Generation Did you know that artificial intelligence programs can write news stories? According to Wired, the AP, Fox, and Yahoo! all use AI to write simple stories like financial summaries, sports recaps, and fantasy sports reports. AI isn’t writing in-depth investigative articles, but it has no problem with very simple articles that don’t require a lot of synthesis. Automated Insights, the company behind the Wordsmith software, says that e-commerce, financial services, real estate, and other “data- driven” industries are already benefitting from • Security Surveillance A single person monitoring a number of video cameras isn’t a very secure system; people get bored easily, and keeping track of multiple monitors can be difficult even in the best of circumstances. Which is why training computers to monitor those cameras makes a great deal of sense. With supervised training exercises, security algorithms can take input from security cameras and determine whether there may be a threat—if it “sees” a warning sign, it will alert human security officers. Of course, the number of things that these computers can catch is currently pretty limited. Identifying actions that might imply a thief in a store are likely beyond the current technological limitations, but don’t be surprised • Music and Movie Recommendation Services While they’re rather simple when compared to other AI systems, apps like Spotify, Pandora, and Netflix accomplish a useful task: recommending music and movies based on the interests you’ve expressed and judgments you’ve made in the past. By monitoring the choices you make and inserting them into a learning algorithm, these apps make recommendations that you’re likely to be interested in. • Music and Movie Recommendation Services • Pandora is one of the most popular and highly demanded tech solutions that exist. It is also called the DNA of music. Depending on 400 musical characteristics, the team of expert musicians individually analyzes the song. The system is also good at recommending the track record for recommending songs that would never get noticed, despite people’s liking. Boxever •Boxever is a company that heavily relies on machine learning to enhance the customer experience in the travel industry and conveys micro-moments or experiences that can please the customers. •Boxover significantly improves customer engagement through machine learning and Artificial Intelligence to rule the playing field, helping customers to find new ways and make memorable journeys. Flying Drones • The flying drones are already shipping products to customers home – though on a test mode. They indicate a powerful machine learning system that can translate the environment into a 3D model through sensors and video cameras. • The sensors and cameras are able to notice the position of the drones in the room by attaching them to the ceiling. Trajectory generation algorithm guides the drone on how and where to move. Using a Wi-Fi system, we can control the drones and use them for specific purposes – product delivery, video-making, or news Questions?
