Citizen-Centric Artificial Intelligence for Smart Cities

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has transformative potential in shaping the future of urban living. AI-driven initiatives are revolutionizing various aspects of smart city development, from infrastructure optimization to environmental sustainability. At the heart of this lies the concept of citizen-centric design, where AI technologies are harnessed to prioritize the needs, preferences, and well-being of urban communities across key domains such as transportation, energy management, public safety, healthcare, and governance. An emphasis on ethical considerations in AI deployment, including privacy protection, transparency, accountability, and inclusivity, is critical for ensuring that AI technologies are developed and deployed in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of urban residents. Citizen-Centric Artificial Intelligence for Smart Cities provides insights into the role of AI in shaping smart city development and offers policy recommendations for leveraging AI to improve urban governance, service delivery, and citizen engagement. This comprehensive analysis uncovers the ways in which AI-based services are reshaping the urban landscape and empowering citizens to actively participate in the co-creation of their cities, inspiring the exploration of new avenues and the development of innovative solutions to address urban challenges. Covering topics such as robotic communication, disaster situational awareness, and data governance, this book is an excellent resource for policymakers, government officials, computer scientists, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
