I contributed to the CIDOB Monograph “Ethical urban AI in practice: policy mechanisms to establish local governance frameworks”, which investigates how cities can implement responsible AI through ethical governance frameworks. The monograph explores key principles—accountability, transparency, privacy, fairness, and sustainability—and illustrates how they can be embedded in urban contexts via concrete policy mechanisms. My chapter focuses specifically on fairness and non-discrimination, and is divided into three sections. It begins by unpacking these concepts in urban settings and identifying the factors that influence equitable AI. It then examines both the opportunities and risks that AI presents for cities and urban communities. The final section proposes actionable policy recommendations to help cities become fairer and more inclusive as they adopt AI technologies. These recommendations consider cities' evolving roles—as solution developers, technology deployers, and regulators—and emphasize local participation, agility, and sociotechnical innovation. I also supported the dissemination of this work through events and webinars.
