VIRTUAL AND SMART CITY CYBERSECURITY: WHAT ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE COULD MEAN FOR EGOVERNMENT THE PERSPECTIVE OF AN ASSOCIATE

Abstract

Protecting computer networks against crimes including hacking, viruses,
phishing, and more will be an essential job for artificial intelligence (AI), which is a vital
component of Industry4.0. Integrating AI into e-Government systems has the potential to
improve cyber capabilities and security. Governments at all levels, including local and state
ones, and non-state enterprises are subject to this. There is a belief that the present level of
study on the problem is context dependent, but it does offer a mixed picture of the interaction
between AI, electronic governance, and cyber security. Many different types of stakeholders,
each with their own unique set of experiences and viewpoints, have an impact on cyber
security, electronic governance (also known as virtual governance), and artificial
intelligence (AI). Our research dives into the interplay between cyber security, e-
Government, and AI to fill this information vacuum. The mediating function of e-Governance
in the link between cyber security and the rise of AI is also studied, as are the ways in which
participation from stakeholders modifies this relationship. For PLS-SEM route models, egovernance
acted as a moderator of the link between cyber security and AI. Additionally, it
was shown that stakeholder participation reduced the link between e-Governance and safety
and e-Governance and AI and e-Governance. For AI and e-government to succeed,
stakeholder engagement is crucial to creating a safe, open, and dynamic cyberspace where
people may utilize e-services. This research proves without a reasonable doubt that smart
city governments should take action to improve their cyber security.
