Workshop: Design and knowledge
Experts to be announced
Multiple Rooms
Who designs the AI layer - with what profile, authority and criteria?
By 2035, every European city has a team of AI designers who think like urban planners and understand how AI works. They have the authority to determine what AI does and does not do in the city - based on established criteria derived from local values and European frameworks.
Questions per time step
- 2035: What is in place and working? Who holds the reins?
- 2031: What agreements, standards or structures are already operational?
- 2027: What has been started, tested or decided?
- Before end of 2026: What must begin now - and who takes the initiative
Contribution to the declaration
What must a European city be able to do and know to design its own AI layer?
What do we work on in this workshop?
- Defining the profile of the AI designer as a new urban professional - and launching training programmes.
- Establishing a European framework for the criteria by which AI applications in cities are assessed.
- Organising the way in which urban planning departments gain formal authority to evaluate and reject AI applications.
