Abstract: Smart cities leverage advanced technologies to improve urban governance, sustainability, and quality of life for citizens. Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are the two foundational pillars of modern smart city infrastructure. IoT enables the interconnection of physical devices, sensors, and systems to collect real-time data, while AI processes and analyses this data to derive actionable insights and automate decision-making. Together, AI and IoT facilitate intelligent traffic management, smart energy grids, waste management automation, healthcare monitoring, and enhanced public safety. Despite significant progress, challenges such as data privacy, cybersecurity, interoperability, and high deployment costs remain critical concerns. This review paper presents a comprehensive overview of AI and IoT applications in smart city domains, discusses architectures, highlights challenges, and outlines future research directions for building efficient, sustainable, and citizen-centric smart cities.
