AI is a double-edged sword for our cities. It can uncover crucial insights from our records, helping us make better decisions - but it can also be exploited. Imagine a world where a foreign power could secretly learn everything about your hometown, from building permits to confidential meetings, all by analyzing your city's data with AI. That's the nightmare scenario we could face without smart data governance. We need thoughtful policies that allow us to harness AI's benefits while fiercely protecting the privacy and security of our communities. The stakes couldn't be higher.
