Abstract

The concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in smart community development has attracted much attention, and its implementation can be utilized both to create intelligent communities and enhance urban governance. The long-term social effects of AI remain unexamined by society. The research needs additional studies to examine current AI advancements together with their community-based obstacles and new usage areas. The process of community development starts with data collection and analysis to determine local needs which leads to effective decision-making and privacy protection. The future intelligent communities will achieve sustainable development through AI technology implementation which enables efficient service delivery and enhanced decision-making and operational streamlining for modern city governance systems. The success of these outcomes relies on correct AI deployment which brings benefits to all parties involved while managing potential risks. The research is necessary as it will show how artificial intelligence alters the social structures and economic systems and affects the human life standards. The findings of such studies can assist the policymakers and researchers to design AI-based solutions that can enhance sustainable development and increase the quality of life of every member of the community.
