Mini track: Artificial Intelligence for Sustainability

Track: Green IS and Sustainability (SIG Green)

The catastrophic impacts of climate change on biodiversity, ecosystems and human lives have raised attention towards environmental sustainability more than ever. The challenge of sustainability is multi-dimensional, involves complex interactions, and requires trade-offs between conflicting values of multiple stakeholders. Artificial intelligence (AI) can offer diverse solutions for mitigating adverse impacts of climate change and adapting to new planetary conditions – from earlier and better detection of climate risks to machine-based intelligence offering powerful predictive capabilities to support decision making and using immersive applications that help individuals reconnect with the natural environment. This minitrack adopts a socio-technical-ecological perspective to examine how AI can be used to support environmental sustainability and respond to the challenges of climate change. Research of all types is invited, from conceptual work that develops theories around AI to empirical investigations of the interplay between AI and sustainability-related phenomenon and design work that develops novel solutions and approaches. Topics of interest include, but are not limited to: •     Use of AI for sustainability to transform high-polluting industries •     Implications of Industry 4.0 on environmental sustainability

•     Applications of AI for sustainability in different sectors, such as energy, transportation, agriculture, information technology, smart cities, construction and others •     Design and use of AI to improve the organization’s environmental footprint •     Theories integrating AI with payoffs for sustainability •     Factors affecting the success and failure of AI applications for sustainability

•     AI tools for measuring dimensions of environmental sustainability, including environment-related Sustainable Development Goals •     Development of sustainable products and services using AI •     Use of AI to encourage environmentally responsible behaviors by individuals •     Application of responsible innovation processes to the design and development of AI applications •     Conceptual models relating to the relationships between AI applications and environmental sustainability •     AI governance and public policy considerations related to AI with implications for sustainability

•     Threats and risks associated with use of AI to address sustainability concerns, such as algorithmic bias, explainability, transparency and digital divide •     Ethical and social issues associated with the use of AI for environmental sustainability •     Human centered AI for environmental sustainability
