<p>The current AI hype, driven by generative AI and particularly
large language models (LLMs), is creating excitement, fear, and
inflated expectations. In this talk, I will argue that to
transform this hype into sustainable and positive development, we
need to find ways to empower people to take control of their own
assistive AI technology. To achieve this, spatial data science in
general, and mobility data science in particular, must up their
game and embrace open-source development and collaboration.</p></td>

<p>Data innovations and Artificial Intelligence have the potential to
support cities in addressing the most pressing challenges posed by
the current triple planetary emergency and its climate, ecology and
social inequality dimensions. However, solutions built upon biased or
partial data will not address the required challenges, since they may
systematically misrepresent the realities of the most vulnerable
communities. To overcome this, the talk introduces an approach
to participatory urban analytics which bridges citizen participation
and data science to address inequalities in data and society. Results
from this approach show significant social impacts in the context of
resilience to flood and landslide disasters in Latin American
disadvantaged communities (the Waterproofing Data and URBE Latam
projects) and the improvement of access to urban infrastructure and
services in informal settlements in Kenya and Nigeria (IDEAMAPS Data
Ecosystem project).</p></td>
