Many cities are starting to test AI concepts and exploring AI use-cases across urban sectors, from improving public transport to public safety, healthcare services and city governance. More and more regions are investing in AI as a major pillar of their innovation strategy.

💬 EuroPCom thematic forum on ‘Regions and cities leading the AI transition - let's hear from CoR members! 

Artificial Intelligence is reshaping how we connect with our communities: from smarter public transport to better healthcare and safer cities. As local leaders, we have a responsibility to harness these tools not just for innovation but to truly serve our citizens, address their needs and safeguard their rights. Regions need to lead the way in showing how AI can be a force for good, building trust and ensuring no one is left behind in this transition.

With AI's investments, we take responsibility for municipalities and regions developing sustainably and competitively - to the benefit of residents, businesses and future generations. Another important factor is cooperation with the business world, so that we create more innovations that strengthen both the municipality and the region.
