Artificial Intelligence of Things and Smart City Sustainability: Towards a Multidimensional Framework
Year: 2026
Type: article
Abstract: Research focusing on the adoption of artificial intelligence of things (AIoT) solutions in urban digitalization contexts address technological, strategic, and institutional levers separately. The key contribution of this study is a conceptual model grounded in dynamic capabilities theory, where these dimensions are blended to capture AIoT roles in establishing smart city sustainability. Specifically, AIoT is conceptualized as a facilitator that supports cities’ sensing, seizing, and reconfiguring capabilities. Key technological, strategic and institutional factors shaping AIoT as a player to enhance urban sustainability are identified. Implications for AIoT application in smart cities and its importance for improved and sustained urban governance are also presented.
