Smart Communities, Smart Responders: An AI for IoT Prize Competition

The rapid deployment of 5G infrastructure, Internet of Things (IoT) devices, smart buildings, transportation, and public safety data streams benefit communities across the country. However, these technologies have created a flood of data and made it difficult for public safety leaders and individual first responders to use them. The Smart Communities, Smart Responders: An Artificial Intelligence for Internet of Things Prize Competition (AI3 Prize Competition) sought to address this situation by accelerating the development of real-time data visualization with rapid IoT sensor integration, accessing various IoT data streams delivered in usable formats. The objective of the AI3 Prize Competition was to help first responders solve complex problems by interoperating and integrating sensor information, thus improving situational analysis and response time. Come see how the AI for IoT Information (AI3) Prize Competition challenged teams to create an AI System to help first responders – like firefighters, police, and Emergency Medical Technicians- leverage data from IoT devices, smart buildings, and other surrounding sources.
