This IDC Perspective discusses the nomination details of the Special Award for Smart Cities — Best in Connected City winner from the IDC Future Enterprise Awards 2023 in Asia/Pacific, including how generative AI (GenAI) can impact organizations moving forward.“In this era of ‘AI Everywhere,’ the model, design, and deployment of Smart City projects need to be reexamined and redefined to create the ultimate living experience for residents.
