July 17: plenary presentation
Associate Professor Jian Li presented “Working with AI: Building an Open and Collaborative Innovation Ecosystem for Urban Transport.” The presentation discussed a demand-led approach to AI agents in transport. It considered how scenario and operational understanding, model and tool systems, and data-access rules could jointly support open governance. Joint laboratories and governance sandboxes were presented as possible settings for testing practices that can later be adapted to other urban transport contexts.
