商品描述
This book aims to introduce planners to AI, outlining essential concepts, terminologies, and methodologies. AI now promises to reshape urban planning, but as with many technological innovations, AI also introduces ethical, practical, and organizational challenges. Understanding both AI's current capabilities and its limitations is essential for planners, even as we acknowledge the rapid and unpredictable nature of its evolution. Chapters address some of these complexities, not by providing definitive answers, but by introducing urban planners to core AI topics. The book shows how planners can effectively use AI in their daily practices, engage constructively with technical specialists, and critically assess the appropriateness of these technologies in different planning contexts. This book will be of interest to both urban planning professionals and researchers.
商品描述(中文翻譯)
本書旨在向規劃者介紹人工智慧（AI），概述其基本概念、術語和方法論。人工智慧現在承諾將重塑城市規劃，但與許多技術創新一樣，人工智慧也帶來了倫理、實際和組織上的挑戰。了解人工智慧的當前能力及其限制對於規劃者來說至關重要，即使我們承認其發展的快速和不可預測性。本書的各章節針對這些複雜性進行探討，並不是提供明確的答案，而是向城市規劃者介紹核心的人工智慧主題。本書展示了規劃者如何在日常實踐中有效利用人工智慧，與技術專家進行建設性的互動，並批判性地評估這些技術在不同規劃背景下的適用性。本書將吸引城市規劃專業人士和研究者的興趣。
