# Introduction

The world is witnessing a rapid shift towards smart cities, which rely on advanced technology to improve the lives of citizens, enhance efficiency, and provide a sustainable environment. Artificial Intelligence (* AI*) plays a pivotal role in this transformation, providing powerful tools to plan sustainable infrastructure, manage resources efficiently, and improve overall quality of life. In this article, we will address the role of artificial intelligence in building smart cities, focusing on its practical applications in Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.

# Artificial Intelligence and Resource Management

Lack of resources is one of the main challenges facing cities, especially in light of rapid population growth. AI helps manage resources efficiently by analyzing Big Data* related to water and energy consumption, and identifying areas that need improvement. For example, AI systems can be used to predict energy needs in different regions, allowing them to be distributed more efficiently and reducing waste.

# # Practical applications:

• • • Water network management: * * AI can detect leaks in water networks, and accurately locate them, reducing waste and improving water use efficiency.
• • • Energy Management: * AI can be used to improve energy efficiency in buildings, through intelligent lighting and air conditioning control, and reduce peak energy consumption.
• • • Waste Management: * * Artificial intelligence can improve the collection and sorting of waste, and determine its optimal locations, which contributes to maintaining the cleanliness of the city and the safety of the environment.
