Thanks to rapid technological developments in terms of Computational Intelligence, smart tools have been playing active roles in daily life. It is clear that the 21st century has brought about many advantages in using high-level computation and communication solutions to deal with real-world problems; however, more technologies bring more changes to society. In this sense, the concept of smart cities has been a widely discussed topic in terms of society and Artificial Intelligence-oriented research efforts. The rise of smart cities is a transformation of both community and technology use habits, and there are many different research orientations to shape a better future.The objective of this book is to focus on Explainable Artificial Intelligence (XAI) in smart city development. As recently designed, advanced smart systems require intense use of complex computational solutions (i.e., Deep Learning, Big Data, IoT architectures), the mechanisms of these systems become ‘black-box’ to users. As this means that there is no clear clue about what is going on within these systems, anxieties regarding ensuring trustworthy tools also rise. In recent years, attempts have been made to solve this issue with the additional use of XAI methods to improve transparency levels. This book provides a timely, global reference source about cutting-edge research efforts to ensure the XAI factor in smart city-oriented developments. The book includes both positive and negative outcomes, as well as future insights and the societal and technical aspects of XAI-based smart city research efforts. This book contains nineteen contributions beginning with a presentation of the background of XAI techniques and sustainable smart-city applications. It then continues with chapters discussing XAI for Smart Healthcare, Smart Education, Smart Transportation, Smart Environment, Smart Urbanization and Governance, and Cyber Security for Smart Cities.

The rapid advancement of Generative AI (GenAI) is revolutionizing and transforming a wide range of fields, with a notable impact on digital media and information dissemination. Digital platforms, including social media networks, have already grappled with the widespread proliferation of fake news at an increasing intensity are now facing an even bigger threat from machine-generated and machine-boosted fake news. With the increasing growth and sophistication of GenAI models for malicious ends, fake news is spreading rapidly, finding a fertile ground in digital media for largely unchecked dissemination of incorrect and misleading information. The scalability and diversity of current and emerging GenAI techniques present both opportunities and challenges in the field of fake news. On one hand, the ability to create highly realistic and persuasive content in large quantities with minimal effort, in real-time, makes GenAI a potent tool for spreading fake news and misinformation. On the other hand, those same capabilities can be harnessed to employ GenAI models to detect fake news and therefore hinder the spread. In this context, this book examines how GenAI techniques are contributing to combat fake news in digital media. A particular major challenge in combating fake news with GenAI is the explainability of the models: why a specific piece of news is determined to be fake or genuine. Tracing the origins of a specific piece of generated content—whether it stems from accurate or misleading data—requires extracting, interpreting, and representing in a legible manner vast parameter spaces and training data sources. This complexity of GenAI explainability makes it difficult to hold creators of fake news accountable and to ensure transparency in the content creation process. In this book, the authors focus on the positive potential of Generative AI and provide an overview of how it can be leveraged to combat fake news across diverse digital media platforms.The book is structured around the following key topics:• An overview of Generative AI and its relationship with fake news• How Generative AI can be utilized to fight the spread of fake news• Ensuring that the news we encounter on digital media platforms are not misleading or false• Methods for verifying the authenticity of news sources and tracing the origins of information to ensure its credibility• Practical insights into technological advancements and solutions related to the detection and analysis of fake news.Finally, this book serves as a platform for the community to share innovative research on the use of Generative AI in detecting and mitigating the impact of false information across digital platforms. Readers will explore how Generative AI can revolutionize fact-checking, automate the identification of misleading content, and provide adaptive solutions to prevent the spread of fake news.
