Abstract

Due to the increasing rate of the urbanization program, the population density, and the social-demographic strains exerted on cities, they have been encountering unprecedented demands for resources and environmental impacts and the quality of living of the populace. The use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in sustainable urban planning has potential solutions to make any city more intelligent by utilizing resources efficiently, minimizing wastage and encouraging sustainability. This paper discusses the innovation character of AI in developing sustainable technologies for smart cities through considering several sectors associated with AI in smart cities including urban design, resources, transport, energy, and waste. The work also reviewed the issues and the ethics of deploying artificial intelligence in cities to provide a responsible AI for decent and sustainable cities.
