A Smart Universe is a universe that contain at least one form of life that has evolved to the point where it is aware the universe exists. Since all life in the universe was created by the universe through an evolutionary process, we are the universe. Therefore because we are the universe and we are aware of the universe, the universe is self aware through us.
We are, along with other advanced life forms in the universe, the universe contemplating itself, learning about itself. Our existence makes the universe a smart universe. If we ceased to exist and there is no other highly evolved life in the universe then the universe would again become a Dumb Universe.
To be clear, (The Atheist Disclaimer), we are not suggesting that the universe has a mind independent of ourselves and is some sort of father/deity figure. We are more like the universe's first brain cells.
