Brazil is gearing up for the upcoming BRICS summit by showcasing its cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) technologies aimed at building safer and more sustainable smart cities. One shining example is Rio de Janeiro’s Operations Center, known locally as COR.
COR is a high-tech hub that harnesses AI-driven systems to monitor the city in real time. From traffic management to emergency response, the center plays a crucial role in ensuring the smooth operation of Brazil’s bustling metropolis. With the Leaders’ Summit approaching in July, COR’s capabilities will be central to the security and logistics operations during the event.
The integration of AI into urban management is a key focus of this year’s BRICS summit, highlighting the shared interest among Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa in advancing smart city initiatives. By leveraging AI, cities like Rio de Janeiro aim to improve public services, enhance safety, and promote sustainable development.
“AI technology allows us to respond more quickly to incidents and provide better services to our citizens,” said a spokesperson from COR. “As we prepare for the BRICS summit, our AI systems will help ensure the safety and efficiency of the event.”
The advancements in AI-powered smart city technology not only position Brazil at the forefront of innovation but also offer valuable insights for other nations in the Global South seeking to modernize their urban centers.
