Rückblick auf Speaker Series #9 – Der Sprung der künstlichen Intelligenz in unseren Alltag (Mai 23)

How radical will AI change all our lives, our cities and our mobility? 

Am 25. Mai 2023 haben wir uns zusammen mit Expertinnen und Experten mit genau dieser Fragen auseinandergesetzt. Mit Impulsen aus der Stadt-, Praxis- und Wissenschaft Perspektive, wurden Ideen und Vorstellungen für die Rolle von künstlicher Intelligenz innerhalb des städtischen Kontextes für die nahe Zukunft diskutiert. 

AI technologies offer immense opportunities for our society and working world, especially in the area of urban mobility. Our cities are becoming ever more densely populated and the demands on transport systems are increasing. The integration of AI enables more efficient traffic planning and control. By analyzing real-time data, traffic flows can be optimized and congestion reduced. AI the possibility of integrating autonomous vehicles into traffic. 

But how can we ensure that AI is used responsibly and ethically? And what effects does the integration of AI on our society and how can we prepare for them? 

Our first speaker Dr. Laura Dornheim gab als IT-Referentin und Chief Digital Officer (CDO) der Stadt München per Video einen Einblick in die AI in the administration. She emphasized that AI has a prominent future within the administration of the City of Munich and gave examples of what this could look like: In the near future, citizens should be able to communicate with administrations in "natural language" instead of "official German". 

The much-discussed topic of digitalization also found its place in this speaker series and was discussed in the context of improving urban planning. For example AI in aerial image analysis or for filling traffic data gaps.

"City of Munich should be digitally sovereign."

Prof. Dr. Johannes Betz and Prof. Dr. Jochen Hartmann der Technischen Universität München haben in ihren jeweiligen Impulsen vor allem über KI-gestützte Mobilitätssysteme und Smart Cities berichtet. Prof. Dr. Betz arbeitet und forscht im Bereich autonome Fahrzeugsysteme und gab einen Einblick in die Fortschritte der AI in autonomous driving. In addition, Prof. Dr. Hartmann works and researches in the field of digital marketing and shows how AI this topic area now and in the future. Furthermore, digital marketing with AI influence was analyzed using the MCube project Wies'n Shuttleillustrated. Chatbots such as ChatGPT and OpenAI will play an increasingly important role in our lives and mobility in the city. 

"We are much closer to autonomous driving in an urban context than many people think."

Prof. Dr. Johannes Betz

The last speaker was Tobias Glaß, Strategiemanager für vernetzte und autonome Mobilität der Stadtwerke München, in seinem Impuls, wie die Stadtwerke und die MVG AI want to integrate into future projects.  

"Autonomous driving enables safe and efficient road use."
