Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The Special Issue on “AI for Sustainable Development: Applications and Impacts across Industries” aims to explore how Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing various sectors to support the achievement of sustainable development goals (SDGs). This issue invites research that examines the application of AI in promoting sustainability across diverse domains such as energy, agriculture, urban planning, and resource management. This Special Issue seeks to contribute to a deeper understanding of how AI can be harnessed to address global environmental and societal challenges by bridging the gap between AI innovation and sustainable practices. We encourage submissions that provide empirical evidence, methodological advancements, and theoretical perspectives on integrating AI technologies to foster sustainable development. The goal is to advance interdisciplinary research highlighting AI’s potential to drive progress toward a more sustainable future.
