Summary:
|
Artificial intelligence (AI) has advanced from narrow applications to agentic AI systems and AI agents capable of autonomous decision-making, contextual reasoning, and dynamic collaboration. In smart sustainable cities, these capabilities deliver significant value: predictive traffic control, adaptive energy management, intelligent healthcare, and responsive urban platforms. By exposing AI services through standardized interfaces, cities can integrate diverse AI models and agents to improve efficiency, resilience, and citizen well‑being, while ensuring scalability across complex infrastructures.
Recommendation ITU‑T Y.4470 defines the reference architecture of artificial intelligence service exposure (AISE) for smart sustainable cities. It specifies functional components, reference points, and common capabilities that allow AI services to be discovered, subscribed, and accessed by city platforms. However, ITU-T Y.4470 emphasizes architecture and interoperability rather than security. Since AISE collects and opens sensitive city data and orchestrates AI models across multiple providers, the lack of explicit security requirements creates vulnerabilities. Risks such as unauthorized access, data leakage, adversarial manipulation, and compromised AI agents highlight the need for a security‑enhanced architecture .
Thid draft Recommendation fills this gap by identifying security risks and requirements for AISE in smart sustainable cities. It will define a security‑enhanced architecture, establish capabilities for data, devices, infrastructures, platforms, and applications, and provide guidelines for secure implementation. Building on ITU-T Y.4470 while extending its scope to resilience and trustworthiness, this work ensures AISE can be deployed safely, supporting sustainable urban innovation under robust security assurance.
