Newport, RI is Curbing Noise Pollution with AI-Enabled Solution

Noise pollution is a growing environmental and health risk, especially in expanding cities. Newport, Rhode Island, faces this issue, with 4 million annual visitors contributing to congestion and noise. To address complaints, Newport adopted an AI powered noise camera solution.

In this video, we discuss with Jim O’Halloran, Former IT Director for Newport, and Rick Scholte, CEO of Sorama, about the solution, AI integration, data-driven changes to noise ordinances, future plans, and how this project marks the start of Newport’s smart city strategy.
