When AI watches the streets
The term ‘smart city’ paints a picture of a tech-enabled oasis—powered by sensors of all kinds. But we’re starting to recognize what all these tools might mean for privacy. In this episode, we meet a researcher studying how this is being applied in Iran and visit one of the nation’s top smart cities, to learn how its efforts there have evolved over time.
We Meet:
University of Oxford and Article19 Human Rights Researcher Mahsa Alimardani
City of Las Vegas Chief Innovation Officer Michael Sherwood
City of Hope Director of Campus Support Operations Mark Reed
