Abstract: One of the most important technologies of the Fourth Industrial Revolution (Industry 4.0) is artificial intelligence (AI), which guards computer network systems against damage, phishing, malware, cyberattacks, and unauthorised access. Through eGovernment, artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to improve the cyber capabilities and security of states, local governments, and non-state enterprises. Research currently available shows a mixed link between cybersecurity, e-Government, and AI; however, it is thought that this relationship depends on the situation. Different stakeholders with varying levels of knowledge and experience in their respective fields have an impact on and influence AI, e-Governance, and cybersecurity. This research explores the direct link between cybersecurity, eGovernment, and AI in order to close this context-specific gap. This research also looks at the moderating influence of stakeholder participation on the link between AI, e-Governance, and cybersecurity, as well as the mediating function that e-Governance plays in this relationship. PLS-SEM route modelling research findings showed that e-Government has a somewhat mediating effect between cybersecurity and AI. Similarly, the link between e-Governance and cybersecurity as well as AI and e-Governance was shown to be moderated by the engagement of stakeholders. Because all stakeholders have an interest in a thriving, transparent, and safe cyberspace while utilising e-services, it is implied that stakeholder participation in AI and e-Governance is crucial. This report offers smart city governments useful recommendations for bolstering their cybersecurity defences.
