Abstract
The increase in urban population has brought climate, technological and economic changes that may negatively affect the quality of life in cities. In response, the concept of a smart city has emerged referring to use of novel ICTs to reduce the adverse effects on cities and its inhabitants. Among other technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is used in that context, evolving rapidly and playing an essential role in supporting intelligent city-wide systems in different domains. It is thus beneficial to identify current research advances and get a better understanding of the role the AI plays in this particular context. Consequently, there is a need to systematically study the connection between AI and smart cities, by focusing on the findings that uncover its role, possible applications, but also challenges to using the concepts and technologies branded as AI in smart cities. Therefore, the paper presents a systematic literature review and provides insights into the achievements and advances of AI in smart cities pertaining to the mentioned aspects.
