This week saw major advancements in AI infrastructure and city planning worldwide. In the United States, the Partnership for Public Service launched an AI Center for Government to help train public workers on using AI for better services like urban planning and emergency responses. Meanwhile, China deployed its DeepSeek AI model in 72 local governments to improve services, though many areas still struggle with limited computer and energy resources.

OpenAI announced plans to build its first AI data center in Texas as part of a larger project called Stargate, which aims to create massive AI facilities with partners like SoftBank and Oracle. In Japan, AI-powered robots began cleaning up radioactive sandbags at the Fukushima nuclear plant, showing how machines can handle dangerous jobs too risky for humans.

Private companies also made moves in AI infrastructure. Amazon introduced an AI shopping tool that suggests products based on user interests, while Perplexity added new features to help people search for travel and shopping info more easily. These tools could change how cities manage tourist areas and local businesses.
