Artificial Intelligence and its Interaction with Environmental Sustainability: Reconstructing the Ecosystem

Abstract

The use of Artificial Intelligence in environmental sustainability would include both problem-solving and decision-making. Every intelligent being, be it natural or artificial must develop some logico-linguistic ontology, in its cognitive structuring. The intelligence is inclusive of perceptions and reactions. How the technology can help in conservation, management and sustainability is a deeper space to explore. The impact of efficient machines and sensitivity of human necessities bring forth the much-awaited policies for economic, social and environmental sustainability. In the world of consumerism and technological maximalism, where is the space to breathe? Ensuring resources and owning responsibility for climate change falls on our shoulder. Human consciousness is as remote as that of an intelligent machine. Where our way of life is automated and unconsciously participative in environmental degradations. Can we stop behaving like Robots, and realize that our sustenance depends on air and water.  The paper tries to discuss the conceptual relevance of how machines can be useful and whether we should depend on them for a secure future under the ambit of a regulatory framework.
