An outlook of a future smart city in taiwan from post-internet of things to artificial intelligence internet of things

Artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of things (IoT) are progressively entering our daily lives, from food, medicine, housing, transportation, education, and entertainment to smart manufacturing, smart security, and smart retail. In this chapter, we discuss the artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) (AI + IoT) to analyze the objectives of future smart city construction in Taiwan and explain the supporting technologies. Subsequently, we detail the technical framework of a future smart city and use information collected by the IoT through the AI open collaboration mechanism to discuss model evaluation and optimization, which provide functions such as AI application and facilitating interactive relationships. Next, we analyze the needs of future smart cities and the advantages and challenges they bring. The future development of smart cities in Taiwan that are under planning is then analyzed, and the formation, operation, and development of the smart city system are revealed.
