Abstract

In recent years, artificial intelligence has become a new normal in the modern world. Even though there are still limitations and it remains to be premature both in terms of applications and theoretical approaches, AI has a huge potential to shift various systems from healthcare to transportation.

IoT, big data applications, and power networks bring a new understanding of how we live and what the future will be like when AI is adapted to smart cities. However, it is highly misleading to focus on AI itself in this manner. Rather, it should be considered as a part of the ‘Large Technical System'. In this vein, the chapter will ask the following questions: To what extent might AI contribute the power networks of smart cities? How can LTS theory explain this evolution both in terms of technical aspects and technopolitics?
