WORLDTECHNVIDIA Expands City AI with Shared Infrastructure and Digital Twins
What happened
NVIDIA announced on November 3, 2026, that it and its partners are expanding physical and agentic (AI that carries out multi-step tasks rather than answering one question) AI services for cities worldwide, spanning resident assistance, traffic management, urban planning and industrial operations. The worldwide push builds on the EMEA city-operations initiatives announced on October 14, 2026 , which focused on locally operated AI factories and public-service applications. NVIDIA is a semiconductor company based in Santa Clara, and its products and services include graphics processing units.
It adds projects in the San Francisco Bay Area, Malaysia, Nigeria, Taiwan and Morocco alongside work in Spain and Poland. LiveX announced AI City on November 3, 2026, with life-size, human-like AI Hosts that provide navigation, personalized recommendations and conversational assistance in airports, hospitals, retail stores and other public venues.
The expanded product contains interactive 3D maps, 3D product recommendations, multilingual translation and a Physical AI Host experience coordinated by Lyra, its agent layer. The projects combine shared computing infrastructure, AI agents and digital twins while keeping local governments in control of sensitive data processing and use.
Shared infrastructure is intended to give city departments, neighboring municipalities and local developers a common foundation, allowing them to extend services without each organization acquiring and managing its own resources. Depending on the workload, NVIDIA RTX workstations or a small GPU (a chip built for many calculations at once, used for graphics and AI) system may be enough for a city team to begin building AI services.
