As the world turns its gaze to Brazil for this year's BRICS Leaders' Summit, Rio de Janeiro is showcasing a cutting-edge way to keep the city safe and sustainable: its AI-powered Operations Center. This high-tech monitoring hub brings together data from traffic cameras, public sensors and other sources, all processed by advanced algorithms to spot incidents in real time.
City officials will rely on the Operations Center to manage security operations during the summit in July, coordinating rapid responses to emergencies, optimizing crowd flow and helping prevent disruptions. By harnessing artificial intelligence, Rio is not only keeping watch over street-level activity but also laying the groundwork for smarter, greener urban management.
Brazil's focus on AI governance in the context of safe and sustainable smart cities reflects a broader agenda at this year's summit, where leaders will discuss how emerging technologies can drive economic growth while safeguarding public welfare. Rio's Operations Center stands out as a tangible example of these ideas in action, proof that innovation and security can go hand in hand.
