    For what is Artificial Intelligence likely to be useful in Victorian urban planning?
    Wang, Siyu ( 2023)
    The prevalence of artificial intelligence has led to various industries expanding their use of AI technology to assist them in their daily work. However, there is currently no precedent for the use of AI in urban planning in Victoria. In a wide range of sectors, it has been demonstrated that artificial intelligence can assist personnel and help them achieve outstanding results. Would people better contribute to urban sustainability and use AI to revolutionise urban planning with the assistance of AI? This article focuses on the prospects for the use of AI in the Victorian planning system. The article uses pattern matching, seeking examples and interviews with people from different parts of the Victorian planning system. Through the mix-method, it assesses whether AI might be able to navigate 'what planning does' and 'planning challenges' better than current methods. According to research, artificial intelligence can assist with urban planning in Victoria. This can be accomplished through the provision of support in the identification of spatial environmental factors, the improvement of consultation efficacy with various planning institutions, the facilitation of policy formulation and planning decision-making, and ultimately, the mitigation of planning risks. The lack of widespread adoption of AI in planning systems and the constraints of AI technology contribute to a lack of public confidence in AI, which is one factor impeding its advancement in urban planning. Moreover, 'planning challenges' such as political negotiation, community engagement, and other intricate planning endeavours that influence society greatly will be beyond the capabilities of AI due to its deterministic nature. This study demonstrates the significance and trajectory of artificial intelligence, or digitalisation, in the context of Victorian urban planning.
