This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity measures within smart cities, aiming to identify the challenges and opportunities this fusion presents. The research employs a systematic literature review and content analysis to assess the role of AI in enhancing urban cybersecurity frameworks. Key findings indicate that AI-driven cybersecurity solutions significantly enhance the resilience of smart cities against cyber threats by providing advanced analytical capabilities and real-time threat intelligence. However, the study also highlights the critical need for robust ethical and privacy considerations in the deployment of AI technologies. Strategic recommendations are provided for policymakers, urban planners, and technology leaders, emphasizing the importance of integrating secure AI-enabled infrastructure and fostering public-private partnerships. The study concludes with suggestions for future research directions, focusing on the ethical implications of AI in cybersecurity and the development of scalable AI solutions for diverse urban contexts.This study explores the integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cybersecurity measures within smart cities, aiming to identify the challenges and opportunities this fusion presents.
