Bengaluru South City Corporation Uses AI to Identify and Address Civic Issues
The Bengaluru South City Corporation conducted a pilot survey using AI-powered cameras mounted on vehicles to identify civic issues across 150 km of roads. The technology flagged around 2,000 complaints, including 1,000 related to garbage black spots. Officials have been directed to resolve these waste issues within 10 days, using a mobile app to track progress with geo-tagged photos. The corporation plans to repeat the AI survey every 30 days to monitor and address ongoing and new problems.
