Last week, Government Technology shared the Center for Digital Government's* annual list of Digital Cities winners, featuring four Florida cities. Today’s story is the third in a four-part series that highlights the achievements of each city.

Next in line is Delray Beach.

For Delray Beach, incorporating artificial intelligence (AI) has been top of mind this year, resulting in various projects utilizing the technology. One notable example sees the city using AI to augment its cybersecurity infrastructure. More specifically, this includes using the tech to safeguard its cybersecurity systems, which help triage cyber-related issues and ensure that city business continues to operate as usual. Other notable uses of AI include the Delray Beach Police Department incorporating it into its Real-Time Crime Center, which aims to provide real-time monitoring and rapid response to criminal activities by allowing the department to maximize its current workforce without hiring additional staff members. Also in the works is using AI to create scripts for IT system administrator activities as well as to assist with data conversion and migration efforts.
