Abstract

AbstractThis study aims to identify the main trends in the scientific literature regarding the role of Artificial Intelligence in implementing six dimensions of Smart City: mobility, environment, people, living, governance, and economy. Scientific literature data was taken from the Scopus database, which was searched from 2016 to 2021 with limitations on authors or affiliations from the top 4 countries in literature publications, namely China, the United States of America, the United Kingdom, and India. The keywords used in this study are Smart City and Artificial Intelligence. Data analysis used simple statistical methods, and bibliometric analysis was performed using VOSviewer software. This analysis includes a number of publications, citation analysis, and visualizing co-occurrence patterns of keywords. Bibliometric analysis shows there are 194 articles in research publication. The results of data analysis show that AI technology has been adopted in some dimensions, such as intelligent transportation systems, big data management, cloud computing, and decision-making using machine learning. Research in the field of Smart City, especially related to Artificial Intelligence, by authors with affiliations in these four countries is increasing rapidly along with the advancement of science and technology. Of the four countries, the Internet of Things is a significant concern because the development of the Smart City concept today is strongly influenced by the IoT and the existence of Artificial Intelligence which is helpful for assisting the policymaker in managing Smart City that it can be sustainable.KeywordsSmart cityArtificial intelligenceInternet of ThingsSustainabilityBibliometric
