There’s a rush to adopt AI in most every American institution — including cities. Mayors across the country are rapidly integrating AI into public services. Los Angeles launched an AI zoning pilot for rebuilding homes lost to the Palisades Fires. Raleigh, North Carolina, is testing AI-enabled trash cans that can determine whether refuse is recyclable.
If this sounds more familiar than novel, you’re not wrong. The craze for municipal AI harks back to another era, from around 2015 to 2020, when Smart Cities were supposed to be the next big thing.
