Artificial Intelligence Applications for Smart Societies

Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) is a widespread branch of computer science focused on the development of smart machines, which can perform processes that generally require human information. AI is a multidisciplinary field that finds its applicability in several domains ranging from smart homes, smart buildings, intelligent transportation, healthcare, military to commercial products. The design of AI technique in a smart society, in which the analysis of human habits is obligatory, requires automated data scheduling and analysis using smart applications, a smart infrastructure, smart systems, and a smart network. To identify the possible application areas of AI in smart society, this chapter discusses different AI techniques employed for diverse applications in smart societies. The study mainly focused on the brief discussion of AI applications in urban computing, sustainability, healthcare, security, and justice. In addition, a general explanation of the issues that exist in AI-based applications for smart societies has been discussed. At the end o f the chapter, a brief overview of AI concepts and its applicability in diverse possible domains is given.
