Opportunities and Risks of Artificial intelligence in Achieving Sustainability: Proposed Actions for Sustainable Artificial intelligence

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is one of the newest fields in computer science, designed to simulate human intelligence and decision-making processes. This capability enhances its effectiveness in advancing sustainability through various technologies and applications that create an integrated framework, ensuring a necessary balance among the economic, social, and environmental dimensions of development. However, the excessive and uncontrolled use of artificial intelligence poses significant risks, including violations of human privacy and inherent rights, as well as the proliferation of intelligent weaponry, which could lead to catastrophic global conflicts. These threats fundamentally contradict the principles of sustainability. Therefore, it is essential for artificial intelligence to embrace sustainability, guided by a set of proposed measures aimed at achieving what is referred to as sustainable artificial intelligence.
