Manage episode 354171411 series 3443788
The year 2020 has dramatically changed how technology is impacting everyday life. Whether it is video conferencing for remote work and home schooling or getting curb side deliveries, COVID19 has ushered in a new normal and pushed us to adopt technology faster than we ever imagined. It has also increased what we expect from our “smart cities”. If we adopted new technology quickly, why can’t our cities transform quickly, too? Are cities up to the tech challenge? Let’s find out.
Today’s guest is more than qualified to answer these questions and shed light on what officials are doing to adopt technology that can improve city’s infrastructure and the citizens’ life.
Nicole Raimundo is the Chief Information Officer of the Town of Cary in North Carolina. She is an award-winning technology executive who calls herself GovRebel as she pushes the boundaries of how governments use technology. Nicole believes that the powers of 5G, IoT and AI together can transform the way cities communicate with, and protect their citizens.
The goal of our conversation today is to uncover the real benefits and challenges in implementing IoT and other smart city initiatives. How has COVID19 impacted these efforts? And what does it take to align all departments across the government to adopt new technologies?
