Description

A smart city implies realising sustainable city growth enabled by technology-based intelligent solutions to give its citizens a good quality of life. Information and communication technologies play a crucial role as the nerve centre of the smart city for collecting and analysing data from various sources, like mobile, social media, and sensors. The Internet of things (IoT) and big data (BD) also play a critical role in smart city infrastructures, changing how we analyse patterns and trends in human behaviour. Smart cities generate massive amounts of data and therefore need many flexible ways to process data and implement solutions. Recently, cognitive analytics have attracted the attention of researchers and practitioners worldwide as a technology-based innovative solution. It is a novel approach to information discovery and decision-making which uses multiple intelligent technologies such as statistical machine learning, deep learning, distributed artificial intelligence, natural language processing and visual pattern recognition to understand data and generate insights. A cognitive smart city refers to the convergence of emerging IoT and smart city technologies to realise cyber-physical social systems, their generated big data from sensing to communication and computing, and artificial intelligence techniques for all aspects of collaborative computing in sensors, actuators and human-machine interfaces. The field of humanities typically approaches the concept of cognitive cities from a cultural, philosophical, and humanistic perspective. Humanities scholars examine how cities shape our thoughts, beliefs, values, and experiences and how they impact our collective memory and identity. They consider the role of cities as sites of cultural production and consumption and explore the social and political implications of urbanisation and technological advancement. This paper aims to highlight the connection between technology and the humanities in the context of cognitive cities. The paper will explore the technological aspects of cognitive cities and their cultural, humanistic, and philosophical implications. 2023 Author(s).
