The Smart Cities Council is proud to officially launch Understanding AI Implementation, a new Smart Cities Academy course developed in collaboration with Smart AI Connect.
As Artificial Intelligence continues to reshape industries, infrastructure, businesses, and cities globally, organisations are facing increasing pressure to understand not only the opportunities AI presents, but also the governance, assurance, risk, and implementation challenges that come with it.
Developed by industry practitioners and leaders working directly across AI, operational technology, infrastructure, and digital transformation environments, Understanding AI Implementation has been designed to move beyond theory and hype, delivering practical insight into what AI truly is, how different forms of AI are being applied, and what organisations need to consider before deployment.
The collaboration with Smart AI Connect brings significant real-world expertise into the course, strengthening its focus on AI assurance, operational readiness, governance, cybersecurity, ethics, and practical implementation across both public and private sector environments.
The course is designed for city leaders, infrastructure operators, businesses, government agencies, technology professionals, and decision-makers seeking a clearer understanding of how AI can be implemented responsibly, securely, and effectively within their organisations.
This launch represents another important step in the Smart Cities Council’s commitment to capability building, practical education, and supporting industry readiness across emerging technologies shaping smarter, safer, and more connected communities globally.
The course is now available through the Smart Cities Academy.
