A SMARTCITY MAY BECOME SMARTER BY USING ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE

A city can be smarter by using data, technology, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) to create efficiencies, improve sustainability, create economic development, and enhance quality of life factors for people living and working in the city. Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning algorithms have increasingly become an integral part of city administration, several industries and urban infrastructure. Now, they are making their way to smart city initiatives, intending to automate & advance municipal activities and police operations at large. Typically, a city when recognized as a smart city means that it is leveraging some kind of internet of things (IoT) and machine learning machinery to glean data from various points.

Machine learning is a method of data analysis that automates analytical model building. It is a branch of artificial intelligence based on the idea that systems can learn from data, identify patterns and make decisions with minimal human intervention. Artificial intelligence is a technology which enables a machine to simulate human behaviour. Machine learning is a subset of AI which allows a machine to automatically learn from past data without programming explicitly. The goal of AI is to make a smart system like humans to solve complex problems.

A smart city has various use cases for AI-driven and IoT-enabled technology, from maintaining a healthier environment to advancing public transport, safety & surveillance, parking, and lighting. By leveraging AI and machine learning algorithms, along with IoT, a city can plan for better smart traffic solutions, making sure that inhabitants get from one point to another as safely and efficiently as possible. Machine Learning collects data from numerous points and conveys it all to a central server for further implementation, and once data is collected, it can be utilized in making a city smarter.
