Workshop overview



1 - GenAI MASTERCLASS
How differnet GenAI models work?
The workshop started with an introduction to the fundamental concepts of Generative AI. This provided participants with the theoretical foundation they needed to prototype their service design ideas for the digital twin. In the masterclass participants gained insights into how these technologies are built and how they can be applied to urban planning and policy-making. 


Outcome
The session provided a comprehensive overview, highlighting real-world applications of AI in urban governance and how cities are already using AI to engage with citizens and improve public services.

Learn how different generative models work with hands-on exercises.

 2 - HANDS ON
How to use them in un urban design?
The second phase saw a practical application of Generative AI and LLMs in collaborative urban design, building on the theory. Participants applied the concepts learned in the first phase, exploring how these AI models can be used to co-create with citizens, planners, and policymakers. They did so by working in small groups, engaging in interactive exercises to experiment with AI-powered co-design tools. 


Outcome
This hands-on session enabled them to experience firsthand how Generative AI can enhance collaboration, creativity, and decision-making in urban planning.


Explore the technical feasibility of integrating Participatory AI with digital twins and Identification of key areas where Participatory AI can enhance the Estonian Digital Twin.
3 - PROTOTYPES
How to reimagine the digital twin with GenAI?
In the final phase, participants synthesised their theoretical knowledge and practical experience to identify concrete new uses and services for the Estonian digital. This will improve public engagement, optimise decision-making and address complex policy challenges. Through collaborative discussions, participants developed potential applications, assessed risks and evaluated the feasibility of their proposed use cases. 

Outcome
Identify and prioritize specific use cases where Participatory AI can effectively enhance the functionality and user engagement of digital twins in urban planning;


Identification of actionable next steps and strategies for further development and implementation of Participatory AI in digital twins, ensuring the momentum after the workshop.
