In Smart City initiatives, the perspective of the citizen is disregarded or ignored in discussions about the Smart City.
“This can be seen in Smart City initiatives [146], where the perspective of the citizen is disregarded, or ignored, in discussions about the Smart City [147].”
From Trust, transparency, and openness: How inclusion of cultural values shapes Nordic national public policy strategies for artificial intelligence (AI) (2020) · cites this paper as [147]
Datafication has intensified, radically expanding the volume, range and granularity of data generated about people and places.
“In other words, there has been a marked intensification of what has been termed 'dataficiation' [5]; that is, a radical expansion in the volume, range and granularity of the data being generated about people and places [4,6].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
