Abstract
In today's interconnected digital landscape, cybersecurity has emerged as a paramount concern due to escalating cyber threats that target critical networks, sensitive data repositories, and essential infrastructure components. These security breaches result in substantial financial damages, confidential data exposure, and significant psychological impact on affected individuals and organizations. The continuous evolution of technology brings with it increasingly sophisticated threat vectors, demanding the development of more robust and adaptive security frameworks. Artificial Intelligence has positioned itself as a transformative force in cybersecurity enhancement, offering capabilities for predictive threat identification and accelerated incident response protocols. Nevertheless, AI technologies present dual-edged characteristics, as malicious entities can weaponize these same capabilities for destructive purposes. Within smart city ecosystemswhere digital infrastructure underpins vital municipal services including transportation networks, energy distribution systems, and administrative governancethe criticality of comprehensive cybersecurity measures becomes exponentially amplified. Although existing research has investigated AI applications across various smart city operational domains, the examination of AI's cybersecurity implications specifically within e-governance frameworks remains significantly underexplored. This research endeavors to comprehensively examine both direct and indirect AI impacts on cybersecurity infrastructure, with particular emphasis on e-governance integration, while evaluating how stakeholder participation can fortify these interconnected relationships. Through the application of sophisticated statistical analysis methodologies, this investigation seeks to generate actionable insights that will contribute to the development of more secure and inclusive smart urban environments.
