STACKx Data & AI 2023

Recent developments in AI technology present significant new opportunities to transform the way we plan our city. AI has the potential to not just improve how we work, but also our capacity to deliver more holistic, integrated evidence based plans. Successful adoption of AI requires a clear strategy to co-create with stakeholders and overcome limitations associated with the technology. This talk will cover our perspectives and considerations for the use of AI technologies in various aspects of work at URA. Join us as we share insights from on-going projects to harness NLP for feedback analytics and case retrieval, as well as explorations into LLMs and Generative AI for public engagement. We will also discuss the outlook for AI in the Urban Planning and Design sector moving forward.

In a world increasingly driven by AI, how does the public sector keep up, adapt, and even lead the change? We’ll delve into its origins of VICA, the challenges of chatbot engineering encountered along the way, and the innovative solutions used to overcome them. From the contextual customisation to each chatbot, to the experimental unified virtual assistant Alphabot, to the discovery of prompt engineering and the ground-breaking implications of OpenAI, we’ve been pushing the boundaries of Conversational AI to transform the public service. Looking ahead, we’ll discuss VICA 2 and its potential to revolutionise public services, creating a more efficient and accessible experience for millions of Singaporeans. Join us as we peek into the future of Conversational AI in public service and explore why it matters.
