Digital transformation through artificial intelligence (AI) and robotics is one of the key pillars in the smart city strategy. This development is influenced by the Industrial Revolution 4.0 which emphasizes the integration of cyber-physical systems, the Internet of Things, and big data to support urban governance and smart mobility. The study aims to analyze the application of AI and robotics in smart city strategies by highlighting five main categories: automation, decision-making, education, smart infrastructure, and smart mobility. The research method was carried out through a literature study by examining smart city strategies from various countries that are available online in the form of official documents. The results show that major cities have adopted AI for government transparency, energy efficiency, and public services. However, serious challenges arise related to data privacy, technological ethics, and socio-economic impacts due to work automation. This study emphasizes the need for an integrated socio-technical approach in realizing a sustainable and equitable smart city.
