| Abstract |
The diffusion of great advances in Artificial Intelligence has managed to awaken interest in various lines of research and seek new ways for other fields of technology, seeking to make the most of these advances. Several of them have begun to become part of people's daily lives and there is no doubt that virtual assistants play a major role. Whether by the deployment of mobile devices for any user regardless of age, economic or social situation, it is common to have a computer. On the other hand, problems have been identified for citizen participation in territorial planning, and it is essential to seek forms of support in technology so that the use of these devices are not only for basic chat tasks but begin to be part of an intelligent citizen. In this context, Spatial Data Infrastructures need to evolve and take advantage of forms of AI to improve usability. This paper presents how the UCuenca SDI has evolved to integrate AI and the whole process that was necessary to develop a Virtual Assistant in a specific domain. It describes all the necessary steps that can be applied and that allow to continue growing the knowledge so that the use of AI allows a citizen to access geospatial information in an easy way. This contributes to the creation of working lines for smart cities, allowing the GADs to provide their citizens with adequate and more relevant information. © The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2024. |
