Telangana To Use Tech To Solve Urban Issues, says Revanth
Revanth Reddy discussed potential collaboration opportunities integrating next generation 'Physical Intelligence' systems with Telangana's Future City, AI City and Musi Riverfront Development projects
Hyderabad:Chief Minister A. Revanth Reddy on Thursday said that the state government was actively encouraging the use of technology to address prevailing urban issues and make Hyderabad one of the best cities to live in.
"Besides being a cosmopolitan city and a knowledge hub, Hyderabad is best suited among all Indian metropolitan cities to become the most liveable city, thanks to its infrastructural efficiency and resources," the Chief Minister said, during a meeting held on Thursday with Analog AI CEO Alex Kipman, a globally renowned technologist known for redefining human–computer interaction.
The Chief Minister discussed developing advanced technological solutions for challenges such as traffic congestion, urban flooding, lake conservation, weather prediction, and industrial pollution monitoring in the Telangana Core Urban Region. He also spoke about future plans to transform Bharat Future City into a global hub for technology, innovation, and sustainability.
It was decided that the government would collaborate with Kipman to integrate real-time sensor networks for traffic, safety, environment, and utilities as part of a strategic initiative to align 'Physical Intelligence' solutions with government priorities.
Kipman explained the rise of ‘Physical Intelligence’ — a technology framework that connects artificial intelligence with the physical world — and its potential to enable city-scale innovation using interconnected sensors, robots, and drones.
The Chief Minister sought tailor-made, cutting-edge technological solutions to support the development of Bharat Future City with a focus on economic growth and sustainability.
He also stated that the government could work with Kipman to maximise the use of thousands of surveillance cameras already installed across Hyderabad to improve safety and quality of life.
Speaking about ongoing state initiatives, he highlighted the Musi rejuvenation project and stressed the importance of conserving water bodies. “Hyderabad, often called the ‘City of Lakes’, is known for its lakes and distinct rock formations. Our government is keen to adopt innovative measures to protect these lakes,” he said.
He assured full support for Analog AI in studying the state's landscape, challenges, and untapped potential. Kipman expressed confidence in developing smart solutions to enhance safety, sustainability, and economic growth in Telangana.
An eight-week pilot project in collaboration with Analog AI has been proposed to transform Hyderabad’s existing CCTV network into a real-time intelligent city infrastructure. The programme is expected to improve traffic management, emergency response, and citizen safety through predictive analysis and contextual intelligence.
The pilot aims to position Hyderabad as India’s first “Physical Intelligence City.” By its conclusion, a live operational prototype will be demonstrated at the Integrated Command Control Centre (ICCC).
The Chief Minister also invited Kipman to attend and share his insights at the Telangana Rising Global Summit on December 8 and 9, to be held at Bharat Future City.
