OracleVoice: How AI Could Tackle City Problems Like Graffiti, Trash, And Fires

The trash truck rumbles down the street, and its cameras pour video into the city's data lake. An AI-powered application mines that image data looking for graffiti--and advises whether to dispatch a fully equipped paint crew or a squad with just soap and brushes. Meanwhile, cameras on other city vehicles could feed the same data lake so another application detects piles of trash that should be collected. That information is used by an application to send the right clean-up squad. Citizens, too, can get into the act, by sending cell phone pictures of graffiti or litter to the city for AI-driven processing.
