The Role of Artificial Intelligence in Environmental Sustainability

Abstract

The role of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in promoting environmental sustainability has gained significant attention in recent years. This paper explores various applications of AI technologies across different sectors, highlighting their potential to enhance resource efficiency, reduce waste, and support sustainable practices. Through a comprehensive review of current literature and case studies, the paper identifies key areas where AI is making a meaningful impact, including energy management, waste reduction, water conservation, and climate modeling. It also addresses the challenges and ethical considerations surrounding the deployment of AI in environmental contexts, emphasizing the need for responsible innovation. The findings suggest that while AI presents substantial opportunities for advancing sustainability efforts, careful consideration of its implications is essential to ensure equitable and effective outcomes.
