A generative AI conceptual framework for smart cities

Abstract

The rapid urbanization and technological advancements of the 21st century have given rise to the concept of smart cities, which aim to improve urban life through digital technologies and data-driven solutions. Generative artificial intelligence represents a significant leap in AI technology, offering capabilities that can transform urban living. This paper investigates the integration of generative artificial intelligence into smart cities and presents a conceptual framework for its effective and ethical implementation. The main components of the framework include data collection and integration, generative artificial intelligence-based analyses, personalization, collaboration, and governance. The framework emphasizes the importance of data privacy, fairness, transparency, and continuous improvement. By leveraging generative AI, cities can overcome complex challenges and create a roadmap for future urban innovations.

Akıllı Şehirler için Üretken Yapay Zeka Kavramsal Çerçevesi

Abstract

21. yüzyılın hızlı kentleşme ve teknolojik ilerlemeleri, dijital teknolojiler ve veri odaklı çözümlerle şehir yaşamını iyileştirmeyi amaçlayan akıllı şehirler kavramını ortaya çıkarmıştır. Üretken yapay zekâ, kentsel yaşamı değiştirebilecek yetenekler sunan yapay zekâ teknolojisinde önemli bir sıçramayı temsil etmektedir. Bu makale, üretken yapay zekânın akıllı şehirlere entegrasyonunu incelemekte ve etkili ve etik bir şekilde uygulanması için kavramsal bir çerçeve sunmaktadır. Çerçevenin ana bileşenleri; veri toplama ve entegrasyonu, üretken yapay zekâ tabanlı analizler, kişiselleştirme, iş birliği ve yönetişimini içermektedir. Çerçeve; veri gizliliği, adalet, şeffaflık ve sürekli iyileştirmenin önemini vurgulamaktadır. Üretken yapay zekâdan yararlanarak, şehirler karmaşık zorlukların üstesinden gelebilir ve gelecekteki kentsel yenilikler için bir yol haritası oluşturabilir.
