Danish architecture studio BIG has designed Terminus AI City Operating System as a campus in Chongqing, China, that will be operated by an artificial intelligence system. BIG has drawn up the plans for smart service specialists Terminus Group, which will have its headquarters at the centre of the artificial intelligence-run city campus. Called Terminus AI City Operating System, or TACOS, everything in the city from the fire service to personal butlers would be operated by this AI. The development will be located in Chongqing Hi-Tech Industrial Development Zone and will include Cloud Valley, a campus-style headquarters for Terminus Group. "We are excited to build an in-depth partnership with Terminus Group," said Ingels.

'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.
