Dublin, June 16, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The “Smart Cities Market – Global Industry Size, Share, Trends, Opportunity and Forecast, 2018-2028” report has been added to ResearchAndMarkets.com’s offering.

The Global Smart Cities Market is anticipated to register a high CAGR during the forecast period.

Smart cities are technologically advanced metropolitan areas that utilize various smart electrical techniques and smart sensors to gather certain data. The knowledge gathered from that data is utilized to manage resources, services, and assets effectively. It is also used to enhance operations throughout the city.

To monitor and control traffic and transportation systems, power plants, utilities, water supply networks, waste, criminal investigations, information systems, schools, libraries, hospitals, and other community services, data is processed and analyzed from information gathered from participants, devices, buildings, and assets. Smart cities are those that employ technology effectively in their planning, monitoring, and administration of the city.

Data sharing in smart cities extends beyond the boundaries of the city to businesses and residents that stand to gain from the data’s numerous applications. Sharing data across various systems and industries opens up possibilities for better knowledge and financial benefit.

Advancements in Technologies

Emerging technologies such as AI, ML, cloud data analytics, IoT, and cybersecurity have advanced quickly in recent years. A better connection has been made possible by the increasing usage of these technologies in the context of smart cities, completely transforming the ecosystem.

The system may gather data from many sources with the aid of IoT devices and then share it with a central control point by utilizing the cloud. Such cutting-edge technologies are applied in a variety of contexts, including security, privacy, and environmental sustainability, in addition to enhancing the lives of residents.

For instance, a Mexican city employs technological improvements to manage connected devices effectively in real-time, using an IoT platform called a control center.

Advanced Learning & Intelligence responsible for Smart Cities Advancement

Machine learning and artificial intelligence are enabling self-sufficient and futuristic systems, companies, and individuals in smart cities. These technologies gather enormous quantities of data to modernize the systems and parts that power cities and enable them to make wise judgments with minimal human input.

Building smart cities require the use of artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms, which are already essential components of many sectors. The deployment of machine learning-powered, AI-enabled intelligent equipment generates cyber-physical space, which includes smart meters, traffic sensors, medical monitoring systems, industrial control systems, video cameras, and environmental sensors. Machine-generated data aids in predictive analysis and decision-making for the design of smart cities.

Government Initiatives

Through their legislation and programs aimed at the deployment of smart services as a significant component of their infrastructure, governments throughout the world have been playing a significant role in the smart cities business.

As an illustration, the General Services Administration’s (GSA) Smart Buildings programs, launched in May 2012, intended to decline the costs and promote smart services with updated federal government buildings that were mostly enabled by linked technology. Similarly to this, the European smart cities sector is anticipated to expand rapidly due to its emphasis on energy and climate goals.

As a result, the government is concentrating on the distribution of energy using effective models and policies to move closer to a low-carbon future. Additionally, governments of many countries, for instance, China, South Korea, UAE, India, Singapore, and Japan, seek the economic growth of their countries.

Furthermore, China has planned 500 pilot projects for digital cities, another significant government investment in the area. In addition, Dubai’s desire to fulfill the Smart Dubai Plan 2021 aim of becoming a 100% paperless government has accelerated the adoption of smart services in the region, which is fueling the expansion of the smart cities industry.

DALIAN, China, July 1, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — “AI in healthcare is extremely challenging. For companies, it requires not only solving scientific problems but also understanding AI technology and respecting the complexity of the healthcare industry.” At the 15th Annual Meeting of the New Champions, also known as Summer Davos, Ms. Gong Rujing (Yingying), Chairwoman and Founder of Yidu Tech, was invited as a distinguished representative of the healthcare technology sector. She shared her unique insights into the future of AI in healthcare during the thematic dialogue on “Healthcare Analytics, Not Moving Fast Enough.”

This year marks the 10th anniversary of Yidu Tech and Ms. Gong Rujing’s decade-long dedication to the healthcare industry. From the inception of her entrepreneurial journey 10 years ago, she has been driven by the mission to leverage the power of technology to deliver precise healthcare to every individual.
Ms. Gong described the past decade as a journey filled with miracles and achievements. During this period, Yidu Tech has progressively established close collaborations with key stakeholders in the healthcare industry, including government agencies, hospitals, pharmaceutical companies, insurance firms, experts, and clinicians. As of March 31, 2024, Yidu Tech’s “AI Medical Brain” YiduCore has been authorized to process and analyze over 5 billion medical records, covering more than 2,500 hospitals.
In AI-powered clinical research, Yidu Tech has supported researchers and clinicians in producing over 240 high-level papers, accelerating the application of research outcomes. Additionally, Yidu Tech provides clinical trial services to globally renowned pharmaceutical companies, helping them optimize trial processes, reduce costs, and bring new drugs to market more swiftly, ultimately benefiting patients. In healthcare management, Yidu Tech’s AI technology plays a crucial role by analyzing vast amounts of medical data to provide comprehensive decision support to healthcare administrators, helping them optimize resource allocation and improve service efficiency.
“We are now entering a new era of AI technology.” The development of large language model technologies has opened up new possibilities across various industries. Yidu Tech has independently developed a large language model specific to the medical field and is advancing its application across the entire healthcare industry chain. The goal is to promote further progress and innovation through new AI technologies. However, Ms. Gong also emphasized that the healthcare industry is professional, complex, and sensitive, and the application of new technologies must address challenges such as data security, privacy protection, and ethics.
“Data security and privacy protection are fundamental to the development of AI technology and medical big data technology. We must ensure that all stakeholders are satisfied with compliance, security, accessibility, and privacy protection.”
“AI technology still has a long way to go.” She called on policymakers, healthcare institutions, and technology companies to work together to realize the immense potential of healthcare data. Ms. Gong highlighted that building trust is key, and enhancing data operability is essential to fully unleash the power of data. “It’s not just about better data quality; it’s about a better future for health.”
