Bol

Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability: Opportunities and Challenges: explores the complex relationship between cutting-edge technology and the urgent quest for a sustainable future. At a time when climate change, biodiversity loss, and resource depletion are accelerating, artificial intelligence (AI) emerges as both a promising tool and a source of new dilemmas.This book examines how AI can support environmental protection through advanced data analysis, climate modeling, biodiversity monitoring, smart agriculture, renewable energy management, and disaster prevention. It also highlights the paradoxical impacts of AI itself its high energy consumption, reliance on rare materials, and ethical challenges linked to surveillance, inequalities, and governance.Drawing on global and regional case studies, with particular attention to Morocco and Africa, the book provides a balanced perspective on opportunities and risks. It critically assesses AI's potential to transform environmental governance while calling for transparency, inclusiveness, and responsible innovation.Aimed at researchers, students, policymakers, and professionals, this volume serves as both a scientific reference and a practical guide. It invites readers to reflect on a central question: can artificial intelligence become an ally of sustainability, or will it deepen the ecological crises it seeks to solve?
