Keywords:
Smart Technologies, Artificial Intelligence (AI), Internet of Things (IoT), Smart Cities, Smart Healthcare, Automation, Robotics, 5G Connectivity, Digital Transformation, Ethical ChallengesAbstract
The 21st century is experiencing a transformative wave driven by smart technologies that are reshaping every aspect of human life, from urban infrastructure to personal healthcare. This paper examines how innovations in artificial intelligence (AI), the Internet of Things (IoT), 5G connectivity, automation, and robotics are revolutionising various sectors, including smart cities, healthcare, industry, and everyday living.
Smart technologies facilitate efficient urban planning, real-time health monitoring, intelligent automation in industries, and personalised consumer experiences. However, this transformation also presents challenges related to data privacy, technological dependency, and shifts in the employment landscape. The study highlights the importance of ethical integration and inclusive digital growth, concluding that responsible innovation is crucial for sustainable progress in this digital era.
