Abstract The rapid digitization of urban infrastructure and the availability of urban data have created opportunities for developing and using artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning (ML), and deep learning (DL) algorithms to address cities' difficult problems. This research offers a thorough evaluation of state-of-the-art AI, ML, and DL algorithms in urban artificial intelligence (AI). This encompasses land use, energy control, public safety, and traffic forecasting. We investigated urban-AI algorithms, and results show that ML algorithms such as Random Forest (RF) can achieve 94% accuracy in urban growth prediction, while Support Vector Machines (SVMs) have demonstrated power in accurately classifying objects such as built-up areas and vegetation. On the other hand, DL algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) can attain 79% accuracy in satellite image classification, while Recurrent Neural Network (RNN) and Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network are useful in time-series prediction tasks such as traffic flow forecasting, urban air quality prediction, and energy consumption modeling. However, the limitations of these algorithms, particularly when dealing with large datasets, could potentially restrict their scalability in real-time applications. Furthermore, we have identified ethical considerations such as privacy and surveillance, algorithmic bias and fairness, transparency and interpretability, accountability and human oversight, social inclusion, and civic participation, all of which require attention. This has resulted in a variety of suggestions, including creating guidelines for using AI for urban performance to address ethical issues. Future research directions should focus on integrating AI with emerging technologies such as 5G and developing robust frameworks for responsible AI governance in smart cities. © 2024 Copyright held by the owner/author(s).
