Abstract
World population is rising at a rapid pace and is expected to touch 10 billion by the year 2035. Rising population makes the job of the municipal departments and the government difficult with limited resources available. Urban areas are the worst hit. Smart city concept offers a promising solution. It aims to improve the infrastructure, communication and general services provided to the citizens. IOT and AI are the technologies that will work on top of our dependable networks to give uninterrupted communication throughout the city area. The union of IOT and AI will deliver smart insights to help cities minimize the load on the existing infrastructure, counter crime etc. Smart city describes an area that uses technology and intelligent feedbacks from sensors to make life easier and efficient. It is the combination of IOT and AI that act as key enablers of the smart city.
