Edge of Government, World Government Summit
Selected by the Mohammed Bin Rashid Centre for Government Innovation with the OECD’s Observatory of Public Sector Innovation for the Edge of Government showcase, the platform was localised to Dubai in weeks — around 25 masked site photographs and a guided-prompt vocabulary of 70 reference images — and demonstrated live for three days at the World Government Summit, February 2023, in tandem with the City of Jyväskylä as the implementing government.

Who took part
Summit visitors — decision-makers and experts from more than 190 countries, including ministerial-level delegations at the touch table.
What the tool did
A touchscreen installation with four displays rendering AI scenarios of Dubai’s nature, streets, squares and infrastructure in real time, from a curated guided-prompt vocabulary.
What changed
The exhibition led directly into Dubai’s follow-on platform work — the engagement that became the Dubai Urban Design Platform.
We delivered this project under the brand name of UrbanistAI, in our previous collaboration.
