The Future of NEOM and Smart Cities with @Cityscape by @FanaticalFuturist

#TheLine #NEOM #SmartCities Our #CEO and #Futurist in Chief Matthew Griffin ● 未来学家, المستقبلي was in #Riyadh this week to participate in a panel with the Saudi Deputy Minister for Digital Transformation and Smart Cities, the Saudi Director General of Smart Cities and Royal Commission for Riyadh, the CEO of IOT Squared and the CEO of AQALAT, and hosted by the superb Joseph Cevetello to discuss the impact of emerging technologies on the $500 Billion #Gigaproject NEOM and its citizens. Some of the highlights include discussions about: 1. THE IMPACT OF #QuantumComputing AND #Quantum #AI which will be able to analyse and optimise city-scale data and services in real time 2. SELF-DESIGNING AND SELF-OPTIMISING AI systems that evolve and optimise smart city operations without the need for constant re-training or human inputs 3. SELF-HEALING INFRASTRUCTURE to save up to 80% of the maintenance costs associated with legacy #infrastructure 4. 3D PRINTED INFRASTRUCTURE which can be 90% faster and cheaper to produce than infrastructure fabricated using traditional methods 5. TAXLESS SELF-FUNDING CITIES that use #Web3, #IOT, and #Crypto to raise their own capital and minimise or eliminate taxes on citizens 6. VIRTUAL POWER PLANTS, SMART GRIDS, and the future of energy 7. CITIES THAT WORK FOR THEIR CITIZENS by using biometrics and data to adapt the city at scale to each individual user rather than the citizens having to adapt to the cities to improve wellness and mental health And much more ...
