Can artificial intelligence save Chester?
We certainly hope so, and at this point we're ready to get behind any effort that will make the city safter and help in the constant perception battle the city always seems to be fighting.
On today's editorial page, we support the push toward using artificial intelligence as the backbone to a new safety surveillance system in the city's Overtown area.
The project is being spearheaded by Chester native and music mogul Jahlil Beats, along with a start doing intelling property solutions called Kognition.

Then there is the other big story in the city.
That is the dispute between city officials and Widener University over the city's new parking plan, which would see hundreds of parking meters placed in areas around the campus.
The school cried foul, saying it could drive kids away from the largely commuter school.
They went to court and got a judge to temporarily stop the plan. They also sent in a letter to the editor in which they said they were taken by surprise by the city's move.
Today we have a response from Mayor Thaddeus Kirkland.
Hopefully, cooler heads will prevail in this standoff and a deal can be reached. City and university officials are planning to meet today.
