AI, Smart Cities, Artificial Intelligence, Young PeopleAbstract
As artificial intelligence (AI) matures, it becomes clearer that society is unprepared to deal with its ramifications. This paper investigates how AI in Smart Cities will affect people long term when applied across all spheres of life. AI is noticeably contributing to positive aspects of our lives, such as promoting improvements in information retrieval and research through personalized learning and interactive environments. However, it is worth considering how it can affect the cognitive and emotional development of today's developing young people, known as Generation Z and future generations, especially considering the current state of society marked by its culture of overproduction and immediacy. This research offers a new vision to contribute to the balance between technological advances and mental well-being in smart urban living by examining up-to-date data and evidence.
