  • Abstract

    Rapid urbanization has increased the need for intelligent and sustainable smart city infrastructure management. Smart cities generate massive amounts of data through IoT devices, sensors, cloud platforms, and communication networks, making traditional centralized AI systems less effective due to scalability, latency, privacy, and reliability challenges. Distributed Artificial Intelligence (DAI) addresses these issues by distributing intelligence across multiple interconnected nodes, enabling decentralized learning and decision-making. This study examines the role of DAI technologies such as multi-agent systems, edge computing, federated learning, IoT networks, and cloud-edge collaboration in managing urban services. A review of recent applications demonstrates DAI’s effectiveness in traffic management, energy distribution, water systems, predictive maintenance, public safety, and environmental monitoring. The proposed framework enhances real-time processing, resource optimization, fault tolerance, and data privacy. Results indicate that DAI outperforms centralized approaches in response time, scalability, accuracy, and reliability. The study concludes that DAI is a key enabler of future smart cities, with emerging technologies such as Explainable AI (XAI), blockchain, digital twins, and autonomous urban management expected to further improve smart city operations and citizen services.
