Artificial Intelligence (AI) is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines. With AI, computer programs are able to build up a knowledge base that infinitely grows based on logical actions and inputs. Learn how AI is being developed and the impact it is having on our world.

Sustainable cities and communities

demand for local produce supports farmers’ markets
and reduces use of fossil fuels)
