description As urbanization continues to pose new challenges for cities around the world, the concept of smart cities is a promising solution, with artificial intelligence (AI) playing a central role in this transformation. This paper presents a literature review of AI solutions applied in smart cities, focusing on its six main areas: smart mobility, smart environment, smart governance, smart living, smart economy, and smart people. The analysis covers publications from 2021 to 2024 available on Scopus. This paper examines the application of AI in each area and identifies barriers, advances, and future directions. The authors set the following goals of the analysis: (1) to identify solutions and applications using artificial intelligence in smart cities; (2) to identify the barriers to implementation of artificial intelligence in smart cities; and (3) to explore directions of the usage of artificial intelligence in smart cities.
