AI Walk: Recognize the challenge

Many AI applications run on large data centers far outside the city or even abroad. This raises questions about energy consumption, privacy and sovereignty. Local AI offers an alternative: small, energy-efficient AI models that run close to the city, on local infrastructure, with local data. This is not only about technology. It is about digital sovereignty, public control and the question of how cities can deploy AI without becoming dependent on Big Tech.

During the outdoor sessions we explore what that means in practice.

Breda is committed to innovation and technology that deliver demonstrable social value. Breda wants to make technology more people-centred. But how do you identify the underlying urban challenges? To do this, we need the input of residents, entrepreneurs, community organisations and the education sector; we want to determine this together with them. And we also want to work together as an ecosystem. During this walk, we’ll show how we at Bredata are actively working towards a digitally conscious city.
