Public Information Manager Chelsea Palacio said. "That should be on the city to find those issues and resolve them. So, with AI technology, we're hoping that we can be a more proactive city." Using cameras mounted on city vehicles to capture road conditions, AI detects obstructions in and around roadways in an effort to reduce them."We had a 97% accuracy when it came to detecting potholes and an 88% accuracy in detecting illegal dumping or garbage piles," Palacio said.

Phase one required city staff to manually input results into 311, but phase two will automatically do this - so city staff can focus on dealing with the reported issues. "The problem that the city is trying to solve is to really have proactive services instead of reactive services," Palacio said. "The City of San Jose is really leading this effort in responsible and ethical AI and the Road Safety Pilot is just the beginning." Mayor Matt Mahan believes AI can transform how the city serves its residents to find solutions and building a better San Jose through technology.
