3.10.5. Potential and new opportunities AI offers an array of novel possibilities for promoting and enhancing environmental sustainability. AI-powered smart grids optimize energy distribution and minimize inefficiencies, leading to more sustainable energy usage patterns (Gomes, 2023; Liu and Sun, 2023). AI applications in waste management enhance recycling procedures and minimize the utilization of landfills (Stecyk and Miciuła, 2023; Yadav and Singh, 2023). Moreover, using AI in climate change mitigation measures, such as enhancing carbon capture techniques and optimizing resource allo-cation, showcases AI’s substantial influence on global sustainability endeavors (Wankhede et al., 2024). These groundbreaking applications highlight the profound impact that AI may have in shaping a sustainable future.
