Abstract: Purpose: The primary aim of this article is to explore the self-declared interest in and adoption of AI-enabled solutions among members of Generation C as urban space users. The analysis underscores the pivotal role of artificial intelligence as a key driver in the development of smart cities, particularly with regard to the optimisation of resource allocation within the sharing economy. Design/methodology/approach: The research concept is based on a literature review regarding the evolution of society in the context of economic and technological transformations, as well as on qualitative research employing the focus group interview (FGI) method. The collected empirical material was subjected to a semantic field analysis, resulting in the reconstruction of two definitions. Findings: The analysis of two reconstructed definitions provided insight into how the participants perceive AI. The first definition presents AI in a positive light, defining it as a technology of the future that streamlines decision-making processes, automates tasks, and increases the efficiency of operations in areas such as science, medicine, and resource management. The second definition focuses on the negative aspects of AI, such as its reproductive nature, the risk of errors in data analysis, and the likelihood of increased unemployment and social inequalities. A significant threat also remains the risk of privacy violations, data theft, and the lack of transparency in AI system operations. The research revealed that representatives of Generation C perceive AI in an ambivalent manner. However, they emphasized the necessity of implementing legal regulations and oversight mechanisms aimed at limiting potential abuses and ensuring the ethical use of this technology. Research limitations/implications: The study focused only on Generation C, which limits the possibility of a broader perspective on the subject. Future research should include other age groups to explore generational differences in AI adoption. Originality/value: This study explores Generation C attitudes toward AI within the context of the Sharing Smart City concept and the sharing economy. It also offers a conceptualization of the "Sharing Smart City" model as a citizen-centered paradigm of urban development. The findings provide valuable insights for both technology developers and policymakers responsible for its legal regulation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
