Seoul’s municipal government is rolling out AI Seoul, a hands‑on conference that turns the city into a living laboratory for Physical AI. The event will embed sensors, robotics and edge‑computing into streets, transit hubs and public spaces, letting you see how AI can interact with the real world in real time. Expect live demos, a challenge competition, and direct access to the city’s new AI sandbox.
Why Physical AI Is a Game‑Changer for Urban Life
Physical AI blends machine learning with robotics, IoT and instant data streams, demanding ultra‑low latency and rock‑solid security. By weaving these technologies into the urban fabric, Seoul aims to cut traffic congestion, predict infrastructure failures and boost public safety. The conference proves that the hype translates into measurable ROI for both city planners and tech innovators.
What the AI Seoul Conference Delivers
Live Testbed Across the City
Attendees will work with real‑time city data, deploying AI agents on edge devices that monitor traffic flow, energy use and pedestrian movement. The testbed removes the usual red‑tape of private‑sector pilots, giving you a clear view of how solutions perform at scale.
Physical AI Challenge Competition
Teams compete to build prototypes that solve concrete urban problems—think smarter waste‑collection routes or safer crosswalks. Winners earn ongoing access to Seoul’s “Seoul phys” sandbox, a city‑wide network of sensors and edge platforms that stays active long after the conference ends.
How You Can Participate
- Register early to secure a spot in the hands‑on labs.
- Join the challenge if you have a prototype that can improve city services.
- Network with government officials, AI researchers and startup founders who are shaping the future of urban tech.
Whether you’re a developer, a city planner or simply curious about the next wave of AI, AI Seoul offers a rare chance to see physical AI in action and to contribute to a smarter, more responsive metropolis.
