The role of artificial intelligence in sustainability topics

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is a major focus of attention today. As the technological advances brought about by these developments become more widespread, the potential for their application in all areas of the economy, society and nature has been growing. The processes outlined above, the changes brought about by technological and technical progress, are having an increasingly marked impact on all aspects of our lives. This expansion also raises significant sustainability issues. This study will explore the questions and possible answers that are now on everyone's minds in relation to these developments. With the rise of artificial intelligence, how sustainable will the economy, society and nature be? How will the emergence of artificial intelligence affect economic, social and environmental aspects? Will AI be able to support sustainability or should other impacts be taken into account, such as the energy hunger of the new technology? In which areas can AI be most effective? We are seeking answers to these questions by exploring the views of students at our university.
