Summary
In the vision of Internet of Things (IoT), rapid development of conventional devices, is being supported in various advanced applications, including smart energy, smart vehicles, smart manufacturing, and others. However, there are still challenges to address with deployment of IoT devices in smart city environment, particularly centralization, data integrity, lightweight computational capabilities cost, security and privacy. Recently, Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies enable smart city services, assets, and methods to offer more powerful, efficient, and automated with machine learning (ML), Deep Learning (DL), Natural language processing (NLP). It provides an improvement in enhancement services for smart city applications and addresses some issues, including computational capability, manual handling, and others. On the other hand, Blockchain has emerged as a key technology that build the trust in distributed infrastructure platform without the use of third party as authority. Blockchain provides practical approaches to enable a secure and decentralized public ledger that has a adopt of new applications in various fields, such as Future Smart City (FSC), Healthcare, Transportation, Agricuture, Industrial Information System (IIS), Education, and others in smart city. So, convergence of AI and Blockchain offers the potential advances in many smart industries or applications for future smart city systems. Cloud and Edge computing, big data analysis have been integrated by AI and blockchain in IoT to address above mention issues and provide secured environment for futute smart city systems. On the other, blockchain ensures that data is private and secure in the distributed network.
