Chanakya Shield: A Responsible AI–Oriented Security Framework for Ethical and Secure Smart City Networks - 2027 - OriginalPaper - Chapter - Authors - S. Sathya Bama - G. Harsha Varthan - D. Logit Prasath - N. Vishnu Prahalathan - Published in - Responsible AI for Smart Cities - Publisher - Springer Nature Switzerland Abstract Cities are changing fast because of new technologies. In order to improve cities, these smart city technologies combine sensors and computers. They have features like energy-saving techniques, traffic lights, and safety measures. All of these things are supposed to make cities work better be kinder to the earth and make people happier. When you connect all of these things together it can also make it easier for bad people to hack in and cause problems. This can stop services from working and make people lose trust in the city. Smart city technologies are still really important. Cities need to make sure they are safe, from cyberattacks. Smart cities have to be careful to keep peoples trust and make sure everything keeps working. When we talk about digital infrastructure it is not like other computer systems that are not connected to people. Failures in digital infrastructure can affect people who live in the city the people who help in emergencies and the way the city is managed Failures in urban digital infrastructure may affect residents, first responders, and city officials. Cybersecurity is really important for keeping city systems safe. Intrusion Detection Systems are used to monitor network activity and identify human activity. We have made some progress with these systems they can detect things more accurately and handle a lot of traffic. But many of these systems do not think about what’s right and wrong they just care about how well they work. So, when Cybersecurity systems
