Today, we brought together cities from across the UK and around the world for the first day of Global AI Cities 2026.
Senior digital, data and public service leaders shared real-world experience of putting AI into practice — what’s working, where the challenges are, and what needs to be in place to make it safe, fair and effective for the people who rely on these services.
Across the day, a few themes stood out:
🤝 Building trust so people feel confident in how AI is used
💻 Getting the right data in place to make it work
🔒 Using AI to support more resilient, preventative services
🧠 Making sure teams have the skills and confidence to adopt it
It was a chance to learn from each other, share what works, and recognise that while cities face different challenges, there’s lots we can do together.
A great start to Global AI Cities 2026, with lots more to come tomorrow.
What do São Paulo and Salford… Bratislava and Bolton… Madrid and Manchester have in common?
The same questions about how to use AI responsibly, build trust, and make it work in the real world for all our residents. brings cities together to answer them.
