Better.sg leads the charge on the #TechForGood movement in Singapore and we are passionate about building digital tools that can be used to bring out the best in society.
In this article, we re-imagine a tech driven utopia using Gen-AI – a society driven by tech for good, seamlessly integrated into daily life, improving education, fostering inclusion, and enhancing social connections.
How did we generate this?
1. Tool: Gemini https://gemini.google.com/app
2. Provide detailed context on the city such as core principles and scenes to be depicted
3. Trial & error :-) We had fun along the way!
City Name: Neotopia
Core Principles:
An Overview of Neotopia: A sustainable city with green roofs, solar panels, vertical gardens, eco-friendly transportation to seamlessly integrate nature and create a healthier, more livable environment for its residents.
Infrastructure:
1. Tech-driven community spaces
This futuristic community space features a holographic projection system that creates interactive experiences for visitors. The projection system displays a variety of activities, such as virtual games, educational content, and social interactions. These activities are designed to be accessible to people of all ages, abilities, and backgrounds, promoting inclusivity and breaking down barriers.
2. Tailored medical & mental health services
Wearable devices can monitor vital signs and detect changes in emotional states, providing real-time alerts to both patients and therapists. This allows for timely intervention and personalized mental health support. They offered the promise of personalized, real-time support, empowering individuals to take control of their emotional well-being and reducing the stigma associated with mental health issues.
3. Empower our elderly whilst furthering our sustainability vision
Virtual assistants and plant identification tools can significantly benefit the elderly, especially those with memory loss or difficulty recognizing plants. These tools can provide personalized reminders, plant care advice, medication reminders, and plant identification assistance, helping individuals maintain their gardening routines and feel more confident in their abilities that can be extended to other parts of their lives.
4. Citizen Feedback Platform
By leveraging AI, governments can create more inclusive and effective processes for gathering citizen feedback, leading to better policy decisions. Potential features include:
- A user-friendly website or app or VR experience that allows citizens to submit feedback, participate in surveys, and engage in discussions
- AI-Powered Chatbot: A chatbot that is available 24/7 to answer questions and provide information about policies.
- Sentiment Analysis: The platform would use NLP to analyze public comments and social media discussions, providing policymakers with insights into public sentiment.
- Data Visualization: The platform would use data visualization techniques to present feedback and insights in a clear and understandable way.
