Title
IA for smart cities, with a focus on public health
Abstract
The world is becoming more urban, with more people living in big cities. Life quality is largely affected by the services provided by the cities to its citizens. As part of the Brazilian Artificial Intelligence strategy, The Brazilian Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation, together with the São Paulo Research Foundation (FAPESP) and the Brazilian Internet Steering Committee (CGI.br), launched a national call for national applied research centers in artificial intelligence. The goal was to support 4 centers, in the areas of agriculture, health, industry and smart and sustainable cities. For smart cities, the approved proposal was IARA (Artificial Intelligence Recreating Environments). The IARA center was created to support smart, sustainable and inclusive cities using artificial intelligence. Many IARA initiatives are in public healthcare. In this talk, I will present IARA and some of these initiatives.
