Two additional regional New South Wales councils and a Sydney-based Transport for NSW team have joined an innovative artificial intelligence project, which seeks to revolutionise road asset maintenance and operations.

SIXTEEN councils will trial technologies to speed up development assessment timeframes, as part of the NSW Government’s $5.6M investment in introducing artificial intelligence into the planning system.

THE opportunity presented by Artificial Intelligence (AI) is only just starting to become apparent. Early users are leveraging AI for diverse tasks such as developing software, providing medical or personal advice, improving customer service, or writing first drafts of strategic reports.

Lie #1: AI is too complicated for regular people to understand. What is commonly referred to as “artificial intelligence” is machine learning in a nice coat, and machine learning is fairly straightforward.
