San Jose, CA piloting AI to speed up the building permitting process

Planning

San Jose is launching a pilot program this fall to deploy AI technology aimed at streamlining the building permitting process for accessory dwelling units, directly tackling the city's housing crisis by reducing delays in approvals. The AI software from CivCheck will allow applicants to pre-check their submissions for missing or incomplete information, while city staff conduct internal testing with manual oversight to ensure accuracy and responsible implementation.
