About Me
Engineer, neighbourhood advocate, and a practical promoter of new technologies.
Hello — I'm Mohammad Nadi. I believe municipal government must be efficient, participatory and forward-looking. I want to bring responsible AI into city processes to speed up permitting, improve maintenance, and make information easier to understand for every resident.
Why AI (and why now)?
AI is a tool — when used transparently and ethically it can reduce red tape, improve climate resilience, and help councillors make data-backed decisions.
Values
- Transparency & accountability
- Community-first decisions
- Privacy-respecting technology
- Local jobs & sustainability
My Plan — Practical steps for DDO
Short, concrete actions using modern tools1. Open Data & Smart Permits
Publish more municipal datasets and streamline permitting using automation to shorten wait times and improve planning.
2. Predictive Maintenance
Use AI models to schedule road, pipe and park maintenance before problems get worse — saving taxpayer dollars.
3. Transparent Decision Tools
Any AI used will have simple public explanations: what it does, what data it uses, and how residents can appeal decisions.
4. Citizen Services & Inclusion
Chat-based tools for 24/7 information (bilingual), and assisted access at community centres to avoid leaving residents behind.
AI For DDO — Practical and Responsible
Examples of concrete municipal AI useData-powered budgeting
Analyze historical spending to prioritise investments and spot waste.
Maintenance forecasting
Predict which roads or pipes need work to avoid emergency repairs.
Multilingual resident support
AI-assisted chat that helps residents find permits, report issues, and understand notices in English & French.
Emergency response insights
Use data to route resources quickly after storms or floods.
I support strong privacy rules, independent audits of any municipal AI, and open documentation so residents can understand how decisions are made.
