AI and IoT-Enabled Technologies and Applications for Smart City

Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) is created when “things” such as sensors, wearable gadgets, digital assistants, refrigerators, and other equipment are linked to the internet. It can be recognized by other devices to gather and analyze data. A machine accomplishing a set of tasks or learning from data in such a manner that appears intelligent is called Artificial Intelligence (AI). As a result, when AI is introduced to the IoT, those devices will be able to evaluate data, make judgments, and act on that data without any need of manual intervention. With the introduction of IoT, the corporate sphere is changing. The IoT is aiding in visible collection of data in a huge amount from several sources. To realize the future and full potential of IoT devices, significant technology investments will be necessary. The intersection of AI and IoT has the potential to transform industries, enterprises, and economies. As a result, smart (or smarter) cities can be built all over the planet. By hosting multiple techniques and permitting interactions across them, the IoT has expedited the growth of smart city structures for better comfort, maintainable living, and productivity for people. This revolution has been widely embraced for making life simpler through the usage of intelligent gadgets such as smart sensors, actuators, and a variety of other devices. In this chapter, we’ll look at how AI and the IoT may be used to make cities smarter. The author began by discussing the fundamentals of AI and the IoT using a hybrid approach. Following that, AI and IoT-enabled applications and technologies are discussed. We offer some background material on the IoT and AI for smart cities in the next part. The next section discusses how the IoT and AI may be viewed as enabling technologies for smart cities. The author presents several problems to remember to construct a smarter city using AI and IoT. The problems of deploying AI and IoT systems for smart cities, as well as the conclusion and future issues, will be covered in the last part.
