| Abstract |
Taipei City has been experimenting with the use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools to enhance its smart capabilities, aiming to increase citizen satisfaction. This initiative is part of the city’s Smart City Proof of Concept (PoC) projects, which have been progressively rolled out since 2015. Most of these projects incorporate AI tools or algorithms, such as the combination of the Internet of Things (IoT) with AI to form AIoT, or the application of Large Language Models (LLMs). The objective is to leverage the latest technological developments to achieve a smarter Taipei. This study analyzes the execution of 302 PoC projects, categorizing them into 22 technological segments that together form an AI framework for smart city construction applications. This framework corresponds to 15 major issues of concern to Taipei’s residents, with the potential to address or mitigate 13 of them. According to the IMD Smart City Index Report 2023, Taipei’s smart city rating improved from a B in 2021 to an A in 2023, indicating progress. The results demonstrate that the AI framework derived from dissecting multiple PoC projects can effectively enhance the city’s smart construction ratings. This framework, aligned with major municipal concerns, proposes solutions driven by AI, guiding Taipei’s digital transformation into a smarter city and enabling its citizens to enjoy an improved quality of life. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s). |
