2FUTURE MINDSET AND CHALLENGE
Major Issues:
The technologies like the artificial intelligence, big data, cloud computing, IoT and many
others have opened new ways in which the system or organizations can be operated. Artificial
intelligence is the part of computer science and engineering which makes the intelligent
machines which interacts like human being.1 The internet of things on the other hand is a
technology which is capable of data exchange within the systems which are connected to one
another with the help of internet. The major issues in the contemporary society is the availability
of the clean energy resources. In the modern cities, with the increase in the population, the
pollution level is increasing as well. Not only has that, with the emergence of the information
system in the society, the rate at which the data is flowing into the system has increased as well.
Apart from this, due to rapid urbanization the mobility challenges has increased as well. These
are not only costly, but also full of hassles due to the congestions in the traffic.
However, it is seen that with the emergence of the AI based architecture, and Internet of
Things, these problems have been solved to a certain extent.
Scientific innovation technique for the problem:
According to the studies, the technologies like the artificial intelligence has change the
ways in which the cities were used to be. With the introduction of the artificial intelligence, the
smart cities have developed in various parts of the world and are still developing.2 The issues
related to the ecology, society and morphology has greatly being addressed with the usage of the
AI technology. With the usage of the internet of things in the smart cities communications have

become much easier. With the usage of the Artificial Intelligence and the IOT, the problems can
be addressed in the following manner:
 The technologies are much easy to use
 The ability of solving the problems are faster.
 All time availability of services to the customers3
 Development of the sustainable energy
 Processing the information with the help of the artificial intelligence have helped
in ensuring an improved provision of the dimensions of the liveability.
 The IoT enabled devices are capable of communicating with one another
internally and externally, helping the manufacturers for having a greater vision of
the operations and the products of the system.
 With the help of the internet of things, identification of the bottlenecks have
become easier leading to the improvement in the process.
 Maintenance becomes much easier as the technology is capable of identifying the
conditions of the equipment leading to the determination of the optimal interval of
services.
 With the usage of the IOT technology connectivity automated asset tracking can
be obtained which is one of the great leverage for the company making use of the
technology.

How the technologies can solve the problems:
The consumers of the technologies have being benefited largely as well. For example,
with the help of the Artificial intelligence the customer services are available all the time. I think
that Artificial intelligence and IoT can hold a greater significance in the future. The concept of
the Smart City with super connectivity and laden with technology have opened a new doorway
towards the development of the numerous smart technologies.4 For example, smart meters, which
can be devised with the sensor and incorporated into the smart grids such that the electrical data
can be recorded. The AI can be used in the same technology to ensure the security and privacy of
the grid. With the usage of these intelligent technology, robust connectivity can be established
along with proper digitization facilities in the smart cities.5 Adequate supply of water, efficient
urban mobility and many others can be obtained in the smart city with the help of the AI and
IOT. These technology are even capable of waste management both the solid and the liquid
waste, which is one of the greatest feature and the mostly the energy that is used for the purpose
of the lighting up the cities is generated by the usage of the solar or the wind energy which is one
of the greatest source of the sustainable energies. According to me, the technology is capable of
eradicating the problem of non-renewable energy crisis in the world if used in a positive manner.
I think that these technologies have a powerful impact on the society, consumers and industry
and is expected to grow further in the coming years.
