As a result, many economists fear that the coronavirus pandemic is on pace to hit municipal finances even harder than the Great Recession.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRecent economic indicators, however, paint a more optimistic picture; CNBC reported that unemployment dropped well below expectations with governments doing the most hiring. As the pendulum swings out of the red\u2014albeit gradually\u2014municipalities must stay the course with sustainable smart city projects for the long-term public good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe sat down with Sharon Daniels, CEO of Arria NLG, to discuss how artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, Internet of Things (IoT) and other technologies foster Smart City adoption, as well as help municipalities navigate their way through the pandemic. She is also a member of the Forbes Technology Council Member and one of the leading entrepreneurs in the artificial intelligence.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The article then proceeds to report on Ms. Daniels&#8217; answers to six key questions addressing AI, NLG, and the future\u2014and how these key technologies can empower municipal budget expenditures, improve workforce efficiency, maximize revenue potential, and improve quality of life for constituents. It\u2019s a great read.<\/p>\n<p>READ THE ENTIRE ARTICLE HERE &gt; <em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thesmartcityjournal.com\/en\/homen\/interviews\/2483-can-artificial-intelligence-outsmart-covid-19\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">The Smart City Journal<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Smart City Journal published an article, based on their&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":17,"featured_media":548,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>The Smart City Journal: Can Artificial Intelligence Outsmart COVID-19?
