Top Academics, Government Officials, and
Business Leaders in Davos Will Discuss Impact of AI on
Cities
Recent studies have predicted that up to 68 percent of the
world’s population will live in urban environments by 2050. Yet
Oliver Wyman research suggests that while city officials are aware
that they need to be ready for technology disruption, knowing what
to do next or even balancing it against other priorities is a
challenge. Among the biggest uncertainties: How will cities deal
with the potential disruption of innovative technologies such as
artificial intelligence (AI) that bring efficiencies but may also
heighten inequalities?
Oliver Wyman will host a panel discussion, “Will AI Make Our
Cities Better?” at the World Economic Forum Annual Global Meeting
in Davos on Tuesday, January 22nd as part of the firm’s newly
launched Oliver Wyman Forum, which is committed to bringing
together business, public policy, and social enterprise leaders to
help solve the world’s toughest problems.
Drawing from ongoing research on an index of world city
readiness for technology disruption, the panel will explore the
transformation of cities through AI and the broader impact it could
have on city stakeholders. The discussion will also address what
success looks like for cities and how cities can be prepared. Kevin
Delaney, Editor-in-Chief and President of Quartz, will
moderate.
A diverse panel from academia, business, and government
includes:
- Dr. Susanne Bruyere, Professor of
Disability Studies, ILR School, Cornell University
- Hon. Mr. Paul Chan, Financial
Secretary, the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region
- Ambassador Michael Froman, Vice
Chairman and President, Strategic Growth, Mastercard
- Olivier Gremillon, Vice-President,
Booking Home, Booking.com
- Professor Carlo Ratti, Director,
SENSEable City Lab, MIT
- Professor Wei Shyy, President, Hong
Kong University of Science and Technology
Specifically, the panel will discuss:
- What are the greatest opportunities and
risks for cities from AI?
- How can cities ensure that AI benefits
all?
- What the increased competitiveness
among cities – for services, workers, and organizations – means and
what the consequences may be.
- How the public and private sector can
collaborate to meet these challenges.
“AI is the focus of innovation and economic growth across a
number of the world’s leading cities,” said John Romeo, Managing
Partner and Head of the Oliver Wyman Forum. “Technological
innovation can be messy and how the transition to this new world
plays out will depend on policy responses and adaptation of
business to the changes.”
Media is invited to attend but seating is limited. For more
