Quite an intriguing prospect @samminator. A smart city would surely be a great innovation in the aspect of artificial intelligence. However, the issue of its security is still to be called to question.
Its one thing to be able to integrate a city's infrastructure to an A.I hub, including the Internet of things, but its another thing entirely to be able to secure everything and every infrastructure, to ensure security and sustainability....and to prevent hacking or security breaches.
My point is, with a smart city having virtually every digital and ICT resource integrated into a single system or network, the system can be hacked.....yes?
I wonder what term would be suitable for a smart city that has been hacked....perhaps City-jacked, or City-napped?
I always have some inhibitions about a complete autonomous control of any system by A.l. Not only would the City's sensitive financial, economic, traffic and even health & administrative data be at risk.......citizen's personal and financial data could also be hackable via the network. I just hope there would be adequate security measures put in place to prevent breaches or potential hacking from happening.
But without a doubt, a smart city sounds super awesome. Great share @samminator.
