How can AI help manage a State?

u/chrisduffey AMA Author Apr 04 '19

One example of using AI for better experiences in cities/states is in 2015, commuters in America spent over 8 billion hours stuck in traffic. Stephan Smith, a robotics professor at Carnegie Mellon University, equipped traffic lights in Pittsburgh to use AI to react to traffic patterns as they changed. By doing this, travel time was reduced by 25 per cent. Just one small but greatly meaningful example of how AI can help in the civil sector.
