State of the art research in artificial intelligence and ubiquitous city

Abstract

AI development has affected many industries over the last decade. For example, EmBot uses AI to search legal precedents in patent disputes and identify cancer in magnetic resonance images. In addition to AI, there is rapid development in ubiquitous technology for u-city. Ubiquitous refers to the ability to exist everywhere and be everywhere simultaneously. It has been used in computer sciences in ‘ubiquitous computing’ and elaborated with ‘ubiquitous community’ as the human presence and activity in physical and digital spaces. Given the rapid development in AI and u-city, we invited top professors in these two areas to share their thoughts and this chapter summarises their viewpoints: (1) keep abreast of the latest development trends, prospects and challenges in AI and u-cities; (2) identify various AI and ubiquitous tools that can be used in research projects; and (3) review the current state of art applications of AI for u-city.
