he City of Atlanta plans to use artificial intelligence to address its aging water infrastructure, Mayor Andre Dickens announced in a press conference last Wednesday, less than a week after two water main breaks left businesses, medical facilities, concerts, sporting events, and residential neighborhoods under a boil-water advisory over the weekend, and forced a 72-hour state of emergency.
“We are currently coordinating with the US Army Corps of Engineers. We have sought their assistance because they have the most experience in handling a crisis like this,” Dickens said in a statement on June 3, by which time the Atlanta Department of Watershed Management lifted the boil-water advisory. “They will help us develop a plan to assess and evaluate our aging infrastructure.”
