Abstract

The concept of smart cities is rapidly gaining momentum and worldwide attention as a promising response to different challenges of urban development, such as: lack of natural resources, pollution, traffic congestion, deteriorating infrastructure, economic decline, etc. This concept is driven, among other elements, by technology, and technology is growing so fast. The growth of technology has led to the emergence of new solutions that will transform our societies, as connected objects, self-driven cars, drones, and robots. These technologies can be used in every sphere of a city such as: urban problem-solving, natural resource management, real-time data processing, or predicting crimes, etc. However, these new technologies can pose new social, ethical, and legal challenges that can affect the society. In this chapter, through an extensive literature review of two key technologies used for smart cities development that are the Internet of Things (IoT) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), we identify the opportunities and the challenges that cities may face when adopting these technologies.
