Artificial intelligence (AI) is quietly transforming how cities generate, store and distribute energy, acting as the invisible conductor that orchestrates cleaner, smarter and more resilient cities.

Edge AI changes how a traffic light works, how a building cools itself, or how a shop knows when to restock. And in the Middle East, we have the opportunity to lead.

Remote-sensing data and artificial intelligence are mapping the most heat-vulnerable buildings in cities like Delhi, in an effort to target relief from extreme temperatures at a granular level.
