Artificial intelligence (AI) has surprised and delighted many professionals for its potential to revolutionize the way we work and live. There are many AI applications in the transportation sector, and many of these help us learn at an accelerated rate. This accelerated learning helps us more accurately predict futures such as people and goods movements and asset condition, under new climate, social, and technology scenarios. Our ability to better predict helps us make decisions that better prepare us for the future. But there is also great awareness of the risks AI can pose and the computing power it requires. Further, each AI application requires substantial data governance efforts and other risk mitigation measures. It can therefore be difficult to know where to start. This paper will review the criteria necessary to evaluate AI initiatives, and provide practical guidance to urban and provincial transportation professionals on where to start with their AI journey, and how to prioritise and set a roadmap for their AI applications.
