About this episode

Hubert Beroche (Founder of Urban AI, Entrepreneur in Residence at PCA-STREAM, President of AI for Tomorrow, Paris, France)

Urban AI think tank that wants to “urbanise” Artificial Intelligence. After having explored twelve cities to meet more than 130 technology innovation experts, in 2021, Hubert Beroche founded Urban AI - an interdisciplinary working group that investigates the relationship between Artificial Intelligence and urban transformation.

Hence a Manifesto and a research programme to update the concept of smart city and put people and their needs back at the centre. Beroche and the more than 150 members of the think tank have a clear vision: the first task of technology is to adapt to the city and define new tools of active citizenship.
