'we have over the recent years worked with several of the world's leading technology companies,' says bjarke ingels, founder & creative director of BIG-bjarke ingels group. 'we are thrilled to bring our experience to chongqing and together with terminus create AI CITY, the first landmark project in the hi-tech zone to become a new center of innovation for china. AI CITY is envisioned as a city where people, technology and nature thrive together -- with spaces designed for all types of life: human life, plant life, animal life and even artificial life.' AI CITY seeks to provide terminus, and the world's leading tech companies, with a place to advance the future of artificial intelligence and robotics, and build the foundations of a new sustainable development. BIG says that the roofscape is one of the project's most important components.

Manchester was the world's first industrial city. It is the birthplace of the modern computer, and has the birthright for Graphene. Manchester is a product of the first industrial revolution, home of the third industrial revolution and now marks the time for it to be the focus of the fourth industrial revolution – 4IR. The 4IR will be the transformational changes caused by Artificial Intelligence. We are already experiencing major changes in our daily lives as AI is increasingly incorporated into new products.

In a city of the future, it would be nice to know quickly if there's a fire burning out of control, a crime in progress at a certain location, or a traffic snarl at a particular corner. Nvidia hopes to detect such problems in smart cities using Nvidia Metropolis, which the company said could pave the way for the creation of smart artificial intelligence cities. Nvidia announced the tech ahead of its GPU Technology conference this week in San Jose, California. Metropolis is a video analytics platform that applies deep learning AI to video streams for applications such as public safety, traffic management, and resource optimization. Nvidia said that Metropolis could make cities safer, and more than 50 partner companies are already providing products and applications for AI city uses based on graphics processing units (GPUs) made by Nvidia. "Deep learning is enabling powerful intelligent video analytics that turn anonymized video into real-time valuable insights, enhancing safety and improving lives," said Deepu Talla, vice president and general manager of the Tegra business at Nvidia, in a statement.

That's how much content will be captured by 2020 by surveillance cameras across the globe. These one billion cameras -- twice today's number -- will be at traffic intersections, transit stations and other public areas, helping to make our cities safer and smarter. They'll be in retail stores, service centers, warehouses, and more, gathering information to boost sales, track inventory and improve service. But how to make sense of this staggering number of pixels? But a branch of artificial intelligence called deep learning offers a powerful, scalable method for extracting the most out of these vision systems.
