Cities Worldwide Adopt NVIDIA Tech to Scale Physical and Agentic AI

Cities generate vast amounts of data from sensors and cameras, but turning this information into useful action remains difficult. Physical and agentic artificial intelligence offer new ways to address this gap, allowing local governments to keep sensitive data secure while improving public services. NVIDIA and its partners are expanding these technologies to municipalities around the world.

Agentic AI and Vision Systems in Public Services

Local teams are adopting agentic systems to deliver faster responses without requiring massive upfront infrastructure investments. In Spain, developers combine open-source models with NVIDIA tools to handle municipal procedures and resident inquiries. In the San Francisco Bay Area, interactive AI hosts assist people in public spaces using conversational models. Meanwhile, cities like Wrocław in Poland and Malaysia are using vision tools to analyze existing camera streams, improving mobility, safety, and emergency response coordination.

Infrastructure Planning Through Digital Twins

Beyond public-facing services, virtual replicas help authorities plan infrastructure and simulate real-time operations. In Nigeria, a refinery uses AI agents and a plant replica to spot operational bottlenecks. In Taiwan, architecture firms use simulation tools to assess environmental impacts, reducing the time needed for design iterations from weeks to minutes.

• Shared computing infrastructure helps municipal departments build common foundations.
• Sovereign AI factories support local startups and specialized research.
• Managed services bundle hardware and software for long-term city projects.
