A panel discussion today at GTC Washington, D.C., highlighted a public-private initiative to invigorate the economy of Rancho Cordova, California, with a focus on AI.<\/p>\n

To bolster innovation, the city is working with the Human Machine Collaboration Institute and NVIDIA on an economic development strategy that includes AI education initiatives, investments in AI infrastructure and support for small businesses adopting AI.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re the city of Rancho Cordova. We are not experts in artificial intelligence. We are not experts in semiconductors,\u201d said Micah Runner, city manager of Rancho Cordova. \u201cAnd so you find good partners, and you have to trust them in the space that they know and they\u2019re responsible for.\u201d<\/p>\n

The city sees its strategy as one that can be replicated nationwide.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere are only 20 large cities in the country, but there are tens of thousands of medium and small cities \u2014 and I think we have to figure out how to create an equal playing field for all of those communities,\u201d Runner said.<\/p>\n
