雖然人們尚不確定人工智能將如何繼續(xù)改變行業(yè)和機構(gòu)，但可以肯定的是城市將成為全球經(jīng)濟中人工智能發(fā)揮作用的關(guān)鍵驅(qū)動因素。城市如何應(yīng)對即將到來的變化將決定哪些城市能夠在未來實現(xiàn)繁榮發(fā)展。2

許多城市都計劃向“智慧城市”轉(zhuǎn)型，采用諸如人工智能交通控制系統(tǒng)的人工智能驅(qū)動生產(chǎn)工序和服務(wù)，以改善居民的生活水平。但僅僅采用這些新技術(shù)并不足以確保成功。因為工作性質(zhì)的徹底轉(zhuǎn)變，數(shù)百萬人需要重新就業(yè)。鑒于他們目前從事的工作將逐漸消失，他們在轉(zhuǎn)向新工作時很可能需要幫助。（極易被淘汰的工作包括報稅員、信貸員、銀行出納員、前臺接待和行政助理。）城市管理部門和當(dāng)?shù)毓椭鞅仨毑捎眉寄芴娲呗詠韼椭麄儭?

為了充分利用人工智能創(chuàng)造的新前景，并降低潛在風(fēng)險，城市需要利用四個關(guān)鍵條件：應(yīng)對技術(shù)變革的策略；能夠啟動新計劃的城市管理機構(gòu)；可利用的頂尖人才、雇主和教育機構(gòu)；抓住新機遇的動力。4

目前沒有城市在這四個方面都表現(xiàn)出色——大多數(shù)城市目前只具備一兩個優(yōu)勢條件。新加坡和迪拜就如何引領(lǐng)即將到來的技術(shù)變革時代制定了詳細的計劃。新加坡的《數(shù)字經(jīng)濟行動框架》大膽提出，新加坡將尋找新的數(shù)字機遇，服務(wù)于企業(yè)和國民。迪拜政府公開宣布，他們正在研究如何采用新技術(shù)，如何組建領(lǐng)先的人工智能研究實驗室，如何招募創(chuàng)新人員。這也是為了支持阿聯(lián)酋更大的數(shù)字經(jīng)濟戰(zhàn)略，最終使阿聯(lián)酋國內(nèi)生產(chǎn)總值提高10%。5

歐洲城市的管理部門在實施人工智能相關(guān)計劃方面取得了超乎預(yù)期的成果。例如，斯德哥爾摩具備完善的知識產(chǎn)權(quán)法和開放的移民政策。倫敦、紐約、巴黎等大都市擁有頂尖的人才、雇主和教育機構(gòu)，這種罕見的三重優(yōu)勢有助于推動他們邁向人工智能的未來。杭州、深圳等亞洲大都市專注于如何在人工智能時代取得成功，這些城市正在迅速崛起。這在很大程度上是因為他們擁有大學(xué)和創(chuàng)業(yè)公司網(wǎng)絡(luò)，能夠吸引企業(yè)。6

那么，面對即將到來的變革，城市和當(dāng)?shù)毓疽_保成功，應(yīng)該采取哪些措施呢？首先，城市管理部門應(yīng)該開始評估其社區(qū)應(yīng)對技術(shù)變革的準(zhǔn)備情況。人工智能應(yīng)用和其他技術(shù)傳播速度快，在不同的地區(qū)或快或慢地得到了應(yīng)用。這就意味著，城市難以追蹤特定技術(shù)的影響速度和程度。但城市可以通過及時、縝密的勞動力分析，并建立公私伙伴關(guān)系來解決這一問題。7

城市管理部門需要審查當(dāng)前勞動人口的工作組成，確定哪些行業(yè)將成為主導(dǎo)行業(yè)，預(yù)測未來哪些技能具有高需求。一旦確定了未來勞動人口的形勢，他們就能更好地了解當(dāng)前狀況與所需狀況之間差距的程度和性質(zhì)。8

城市還需要與雇主密切交流，以更好地了解新的人工智能應(yīng)用場景，并全面評估這些應(yīng)用場景對勞動力的積極或消極影響。城市管理部門應(yīng)該調(diào)研當(dāng)?shù)毓臼欠裨陂_展自動化客戶服務(wù)試點項目。他們不僅要準(zhǔn)備應(yīng)對一家公司成功試點的影響，如遇其他公司雇傭類似員工，也要做好準(zhǔn)備。9

另一方面，城市管理部門應(yīng)協(xié)助當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)的技能再培訓(xùn)和發(fā)展工作，以便居民和員工能夠在必要時找到新的機會。為實現(xiàn)這一目標(biāo)，可任命首席數(shù)字官提供協(xié)助，紐約、墨爾本、波士頓、倫敦和雅典已經(jīng)進行了相關(guān)任命。一些城市還開始提供資金支持，以幫助因自動化而失業(yè)的人員接受再培訓(xùn)。這種投資短期內(nèi)代價高昂，但是長期來看，很可能會帶來明顯收益。10

同時，公司應(yīng)該具有社區(qū)意識，讓城市更加了解自己的需求。公司知道哪些崗位可能會裁員，而城市需要承擔(dān)應(yīng)對這種影響的責(zé)任。為了減輕轉(zhuǎn)型帶來的影響，公司和城市需要共同努力，讓當(dāng)?shù)厣鐓^(qū)更好地掌握人工智能，以降低其面臨的風(fēng)險。從工作交流項目中獲得的新技能可以幫助人們快速重新就業(yè)，并可能找到更有價值的工作。11

最后，對于通過讓人們掌握所需技能來降低人工智能的廣泛應(yīng)用所帶來的風(fēng)險的再培訓(xùn)項目，城市應(yīng)立即進行投資。這些技能培訓(xùn)也應(yīng)同時貫穿在從兒童到12年級的教育活動中。最終，如果城市希望未來進入勞動力市場的居民擁有利用甚至創(chuàng)造人工智能創(chuàng)新所需的技能，那么城市必須改革教育項目。12

向人工智能時代的轉(zhuǎn)變已經(jīng)開始。城市管理部門需要立刻采取行動。倒計時的鐘聲已經(jīng)響起。1.Completethebackgroundinformationonsmartcities.GettingtheideaTransitiontosmartcities:Smartcitiesareexpectedtobearmedwith1)processesandservices.Challengesposedbythetransition:?Thenatureofworkwillbetransformedandmanyexistingjobswill2).?Peoplewillneedtofindnew3)andwillneed4)intransitioningtonewjobs.AI-drivendisappearprofessionsassistanceGettingtheideaTransitiontosmartcities:Smartcitiesareexpectedtobearmedwith1)processesandservices.AI-drivenFourqualitiesofsmartcities:?Avisionfor5)
