Denver Mayor Mike Johnston wants city government to work more like DoorDash.

Need to make a noise complaint? Get a construction permit? Fix a pot hole? The city should be able to respond with the same effectiveness as the app-based food delivery service, Johnston says.

The mayor explained how he hopes artificial intelligence could help the city accomplish that last week while preparing to step on stage at the second annual DenAI Summit . The city-organized conference brought together government workers and leaders of artificial intelligence companies to discuss ways to implement the technology in the public sector.

“For me, the hope is (that) doing this well would actually restore people’s trust in government because we do it better — because we do it efficiently,” he said.
