DUBAI: Presight, the region’s leading big data analytics company powered by Generative AI, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Swiss AI AG (SwissAI), a Switzerland-based company pioneering the seamless integration of human intelligence and advanced AI for future-ready decision-making.

This partnership, signed on the sidelines of GITEX Global 2024, will leverage SwissAI’s expertise in advanced AI, machine learning and data-driven innovation to harness urban data analytics and optimisation, analysing large-scale city data such as traffic patterns, energy consumption, and public transportation, to optimise urban infrastructure and planning processes.

This, combined with Presight’s capabilities in big data analytics and GenAI, will help in the creation and application of predictive urban models simulating various urban development scenarios, including land use optimisation, infrastructure stress testing, and environmental impact assessments.

Under the terms of the MoU, Presight and SwissAI will
also focus on sustainable city management and operations, advancing energy efficiency and decarbonisation, waste management, and water management through AI innovation to meet long-term sustainability goals.

In the area of smart mobility and traffic management, both companies will seek to apply AI-driven systems to predict and mitigate traffic congestion, optimise public transportation, and improve overall urban mobility.

Moreover, both companies will collaborate on developing AI-powered tools to enhance citizen engagement and public services, helping municipalities allocate resources more effectively and improving the delivery of essential services such as healthcare and education.

Thomas Pramotedham, CEO of Presight, said, “This MoU with Swiss AI is a testament to our commitment to using AI for social good. This also coincides with the launch of the Presight Intelli Platform that has a variety of applications to an urban environment. Together with SwissAI, we aim to transform cities into smarter, more ef
ficient, and sustainable environments that meet the needs of future generations.”

Dr. Anna Gawlikowska, CEO of Swiss AI, commented, ‘Our collaboration with Presight will leverage SwissAI’s advanced AI and human centric HUMAQ platform to transform urban spaces, enhancing efficiency, sustainability, and responsiveness to future needs. Together, we will empower stakeholders such as municipalities to make proactive, data-driven decisions, cost-efficient, ensuring smarter, more liveable, and resilient cities. By scaling our AI capabilities, we aim to create environments where technology and human aspirations align.'”
