Kansas is putting artificial intelligence to work on its roads, skies, and sidewalks. Governor Laura Kelly announced Tuesday that more than $4.5 million will be awarded to 20 projects across the state through the Kansas Department of Transportation’s (KDOT) Innovative Technology Program—many of them powered by AI. From AI-driven street assessments and radar detection to automated alerts for blocked railroad crossings, this year’s funding round emphasizes the state’s growing focus on smart infrastructure and data-driven safety.
