Find XO: B2G AI Preventing Urban Decay Raises $13 Million (techcrunch.com)

- City Detect, which uses AI to detect trash and graffiti, has raised $13 million in a Series A funding round. - The fact that it has been supplied to more than 17 cities across the United States shows the practical use of the product in reducing repetitive field inspections rather than grand smart city concepts. - For teams targeting the public sector, how much time they reduce for officials to review and process results will likely be a key sales point, as much as detection accuracy.
