The Urban Information Lab has officially launched OpenCityAI, an AI chat model trained on public city information.
OpenCityAI is able to generate accurate responses with citations for a variety of questions that people may have about their cities. It provides accurate responses with citations in a simple easy-to-use interface. One of the focuses for this project was on accuracy, as current AI solutions have been shown to have inaccurate or misleading answers. OpenCityAI has been validated at being exceptionally more effective at answering city-based data questions as compared to other AIs. This project bridges the gap of being able to find specific information about a city, and allows anyone to access accurate information about any city immediately.
