This keynote presentation highlights how different municipalities are moving towards building sovereign urban intelligence (AI) through the 4th edition of smart city index report published bi-annually. The report is perhaps the only comparative study launched and maintained by a neutral institution to foresee how AI impacts on current smart city practices and future perspectives. The report also added other perspectives to support AI transformation. The longitudinal view since 2017, based on a temporary series of bench-marking data, will provide invaluable insights based on the analysis of 50 cities around the globe.
