Abstract

The development of artificial intelligence (AI) is already having a significant impact on society and the environment, and this impact is predicted to increase dramatically in the coming years. The aim of this systematic literature review is to bring together contributions relating to the impacts of AI on environmental sustainability and human well-being, analyse how this literature is composed in terms of impact types considered and methods used, and identify key findings and research gaps to guide future work. This review is intended to be the basis for further work to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the impacts of AI on environmental sustainability and human well-being under different scenarios of AI development.
