SUSTAINABLE SMART CITIES

Information society allows the expansion of the global information and communication technologies, generating, through deep restructuring in all areas of human activity, structural and institutional mutations at the level of economic reality. In the knowledge based society, we can talk about knowledge as a fundamental resource, information and communication technologies representing both a result of the use of new types of resources and an infrastructure that enables the global dissemination of new knowledge. The challenges of the information society have determined important changes of paradigm and recreation of knowledge terms, information and data. The information society can accept the existence of valid knowledge outside of human cognitive faculties, in introducing the epistemic equation the smart artifacts capable of knowledge, which fundamentally changes the classic theory of knowledge. Artificial intelligence becomes substantial to both the subject and the object of knowledge.
