Smart communities are essential to a country’s development. Numerous nations have just invested large expenditures in the creation of smart cities to provide environmentally friendly living conditions. The Internet of Things, sometimes known as IoT, is a fast expanding ensemble of networked ”things” that have sensors built in to them so they are able to collect and share data online without human interaction. However, just like any other technology, it poses ethical problems that force governments to create rules and regulations to address those worries about this form of technology. The purpose of this research paper is to explore and determine the precise IoT applications that are appropriate for the UAE, analyse any possible challenges that may arise and how they might affect the applications themselves, as well as the privacy and ethical issues that ordinary users may encounter. It also looks at the existing and newly enacted IoT regulations and norms. The goal of this study is to look into how internet of things innovations are being used by contracting companies in Dubai, which is important for promoting the general adoption about the application and utilization of the technologies.
