Collect Communicate “Crunch”
Collectinformation about current
conditions across all responsibility
areas (power, water, traffic,
weather, buildings, etc.).
Communicateinformation, sometimes to other
devices, sometimes to a control
center and sometimes to servers
running powerful software.
Crunchdata, analyzing it to present
information, to perfect (optimize)
operations and to predict what
might happen next.

Why
AI n
ow
?Historically the acceptance and diffusion of technology (in my humble opinion) depends on two factors:
•Labour price;•Scalability.
Example:Henry Bessemer (1856) - the steelmaking processBut however the invention remote to 2000 a.C. Anatolia.
This (I think) is the AI moment.

Shift
Everything we electrified, we will now “cognitise”(cognitive power);
AI will also augment us individually as people (deepening our memory, speeding our recognition) and collectively as a species.

sPortugal may be a suitable pilot, particularly in the context of the Mediterranean countries:
◦ In sectors such as ICT, Health, Energy, Environment, education, Industry, Transports, Security, Sports…
Open data market (with the adequate legislation and technical standards)
We should encourage (public and private) organizations to open their data not just businesses but also in all sectors of our life
Ethical regulation for AI solutions
Citizen need to be able to control their personal data
