From Smart City to Cognitive Community: Building the AI-Powered Digital Twin

Join Nicole Coughlin, Chief Information & AI Officer, Town of Cary, NC, and John Rohrer, President, Enterprise AI Solutions, AMSYS AI, for a fireside chat on Cary's journey to build an Operational Digital Twin in partnership with NVIDIA, Lenovo, and AMSYS AI.

Beginning with a living operational model of Downtown Cary Park that integrates data from more than 110 LoRaWAN-connected sensors and over 100 camera feeds, Cary is laying the foundation for AI-powered operational intelligence, with additional proof of concepts already underway, including water utilities.

Together, they'll explore how digital twins and AI are evolving beyond visualization to create a Cognitive Community that continuously learns, adapts, and supports better real-time decisions. Discover how this vision is redefining what comes after the Smart City and creating a practical roadmap for the next generation of local government.
