Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) are reshaping smart cities areas into intelligent, interconnected ecosystems. This study examines how AI-driven technologies can boost security, promote sustainability, also increase the efficiency of city operations. A qualitative content analysis of peer-reviewed journal articles and academic publications was conducted, focusing on AI technologies considered to aid in sustainable smart city solutions in the era of internet. Through AI, systems like traffic control, waste disposal, and environmental monitoring can be significantly improved, eventually enhancing residents' quality of life. However, the extensive deployment of AI and IoT also brings obstacles, particularly in the areas of cybersecurity, data protection, and environmental consequences. The study highlights the importance of establishing strong regulatory frameworks to address these risks and fully harness the benefits of AI and IoT in urban development. It concludes that countries adopt ethical AI guidelines, encourage collaboration across sectors, invest in environmentally sustainable (Green AI) technologies, and enforce robust data privacy and security policies.
