Abstract

This paper will be a systematic review of the Integration of Artificial Intelligence and the Internet of Things (IoT) in sustainable systems, towards the prospects for them Addressing environmental challenges. The review focuses on AI examples here include recognition AI, explainable AI, among others. The patterns are important for safety, security, and efficiency in Urban landscapes. It describes the functions of with this program, interoperability and openness are achieved. FIWARE is a scalable and sustainable smart city ecosystem. It also extends the nature of those AI-governed IoT Systems support citizen-centric service delivery, and therefore, permit Evidenced Urban Planning and Management. Case study: It sets the increasing importance of AI transparencies and interpretability of environmental sustainability – especially with the arrival of such advanced technologies, like Heterogeneous Mixture Learning, which improve accountability and decision-making manufacturing processes in most industries.
