Smart, Safe, Sustainable: The AI Powered City | AI House Davos 2025

2025 Davos World Economic Forum

It was a privilege to join Thomas Pramotedham (Presight), Juan M. Lavista Ferres (Microsoft), Guillem M. (ITU) and moderator Mina AlOraibi (The National News) at the AI House in Davos for the panel, “Smart, Safe, Sustainable: The AI-Powered City,” organized by Presight. The conversation spotlighted logic-driven AI models—using minimal yet precisely chosen data—rather than hoarding vast amounts of information.

Key Takeaways:

The Pivotal Role of Agentic AI - Autonomous decision-making can optimize complex urban systems—from infrastructure to emergency response—helping cities thrive in uncertain times.

Integrated, Human-Centric Solutions - AI should prioritize tangible improvements for citizens in areas like transportation, public utilities, and city planning.

Data Privacy & Security - Trust forms the bedrock of AI adoption, requiring robust frameworks that safeguard citizen data, or-like in case of SwissAI's systems, are free of any sensitive personal data.

Strategic Planning for Autonomous Mobility -  Successful rollout hinges on aligning infrastructure, policy, and public transport systems for safe, efficient travel.

The Power of Synthetic Data -  For cities lacking comprehensive datasets, synthetic models can guide strategic decisions without hefty resource or privacy costs. SwissAI observed this approach to increase the speed-to-intelligence by orders of magnitude.

Equitable AI Access - Tailored AI solutions should be designed to reach all urban centers—big or small—to ensure balanced global development. SwissAI's approach allows is designed scale

Swiss AI AG is leading large-scale agentic AI, refined over 15 years to address rapidly evolving city environments. With the global strategic alliance with Presight, we look forward to applying our advanced technology in Abu Dhabi and beyond, driving smart, safe, and sustainable urban living supporting  profitability increase of local businesses on a truly global scale.
