The integration of the 6G-enabled Internet of Things (IoT) with artificial intelligence (AI) has become a focal point for addressing real-time application challenges. While AI plays a crucial role in big data analytics, ensuring accurate real-time data analysis, the conventional approach encounters issues related to security, privacy, training data, and centralized architecture. In response to these challenges, this research proposes a novel blockchain-based IoT framework with AI, facilitating the seamless integration of AI and blockchain for enhanced IoT applications. The proposed architecture is evaluated both qualitatively and quantitatively. The qualitative measurement assesses how the integration of blockchain and AI addresses various challenges, delineating AI-oriented Blockchain (AI-BC) and Blockchain-oriented AI (BC-AI). The performance evaluation of the proposed AI-BC architecture is compared with existing techniques in qualitative measurements, demonstrating its superior performance. The experimental analysis validates that the proposed framework excels compared to the current state-of-the-art techniques. Simultaneously, this paper addresses the shortcomings of conventional AI approaches in the context of smart cities, emphasizing the need for a paradigm shift towards a "green AI" approach. While AI has been a key discourse in urban policy circles, its application to smart cities has often been hindered by short-sighted and reductionist approaches. This perspective paper advocates for a consolidated AI approach, specifically green AI, to drive the smart city transformation. Green AI is presented as an enabler capable of moving beyond technocentric efficiency solutions, toward efficient, sustainable, and equitable solutions aligned with the goals of smart urban futures. The methodological approach involves a comprehensive review of existing literature, practices, developments, trends, and applications in both AI and smart city domains. By highlighting the fundamental shortfalls in mainstream AI conceptualization and practice, the paper aims to inform authorities and planners about the importance of adopting and deploying AI systems that address efficiency, sustainability, and equity issues in smart cities. This research contributes to the discourse on securing and enhancing IoT applications in smart cities through the integration of a green AI approach.
