This AI for Good webinar explores the latest AI-powered robots reshaping urban spaces and city life. As the world is experiencing rapid urbanization, with 68% of the population expected to live in urban areas by 2050, urban growth creates major challenges in terms of congestion, pollution, food and water security, energy access, waste management, or infrastructure maintenance. Cities, being at the center of the technological changes fueled by the fourth industrial revolution such as automation and artificial intelligence, are rapidly deploying a range of technologies to address a wide range of urban challenges.
In this context, autonomous robots are being integrated into the urban landscape to provide smarter and more sustainable, and effective solutions in many areas, such as last-mile goods delivery, garbage collection, window cleaning, utility pipes inspection and repair, mobility, or police and security tasks.
However, technical, safety, trust, ethical, data privacy, and urban planning concerns must be addressed to ensure people-centered, safe, and appropriate application of robots within cities. In addition, cities must have the right capacities to not only govern and manage robots under their control but also those deployed in public areas by other entities.

What is AI for Good?
The AI for Good series is the leading action-oriented, global & inclusive United Nations platform on AI. The Summit is organized all year, always online, in Geneva by the ITU with XPRIZE Foundation in partnership with over 35 sister United Nations agencies, Switzerland and ACM. The goal is to identify practical applications of AI and scale those solutions for global impact.
