ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) INNOVATIONS FOR SUSTAINABLE EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTIONS: ENHANCING EFFICIENCY AND ENVIRONMENTAL RESPONSIBILITY

Abstract

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies holds significant promise for enhancing sustainability practices in educational institutions. This paper explores the intersection between AI and sustainability in educational settings, with a focus on the opportunities and challenges associated with leveraging AI to promote environmental responsibility, efficiency, and innovation. Drawing on a comprehensive review of existing literature and case studies, the paper examines the application of AI in various areas of sustainability in education, including energy efficiency optimization, resource management, environmental monitoring, and curriculum development. Practical implications for policymakers, educators, and stakeholders are discussed, along with theoretical contributions to the growing body of literature on AI for sustainability in education. The study also identifies limitations and areas for future research, including the need for interdisciplinary collaboration, ethical considerations, and the dynamic nature of AI technologies and sustainability practices. Overall, the paper highlights the transformative potential of AI for sustainability in educational institutions and calls for concerted efforts to harness this potential while addressing associated challenges and limitations.
