The paper looks at the opportunities and challenges that the use of AI might pose in cities. It reviews where AI can best serve local governments, and gives an overview of the guiding principles that ensure AI\u2019s ethical use.<strong>&nbsp;I<\/strong>t also argues that LRGs should be able to feed their needs and expectations into global processes for AI regulation.
