The city of Plano is implementing new artificial intelligence systems and regulations for its departments and a new “no parking zone” is now in effect in downtown Plano.<\/p>\n
The two items were approved at a Plano City Council meeting Oct. 12.<\/p>\n
In a nutshell<\/p>\n
The city is implementing three new AI tools for meeting recaps, notes, administrative controls, a broad range of city work and to monitor AI usage and enforce city policies, per city documents<\/a>. The city awarded a total of $390,000 to two technology companies, Carahsoft Technology Corporation<\/a> and SHI Government Solutions, Inc.<\/a>, to implement the systems and for potential additional costs in the future.<\/p>\n The new software applications will reduce time on administrative and analytical work and give employees more time for problem solving or work requiring human judgment, per city documents. <\/p>\n In other news<\/p>\n Plano City Council approved a no-parking zone for Summit Avenue between K Avenue and Jupiter Road. Parking will now be prohibited on the north side of the street to improve driveway visibility, per city documents<\/a>.<\/p>\n The city has recently approved two other no-parking zones along 10th street<\/a> in downtown Plano and near<\/a> Hendrick Middle School. No-parking zones have been implemented to remove visibility obstructions for motorists and pedestrians or to prevent obstructions, according to previous reporting.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The city of Plano is implementing new artificial intelligence systems and regulations for its departments and a new…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":467093,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[3436,158968,155783,160,18650,162,161,158969,158967],"class_list":["post-467092","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-plano","tag-artificial-intelligence","tag-carahsoft-technology-corporation","tag-no-parking-zone","tag-plano","tag-plano-city-council","tag-plano-headlines","tag-plano-news","tag-shi-government-solutions","tag-summit-avenue"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467092","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=467092"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/467092\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/467093"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=467092"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=467092"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-tx\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=467092"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
