Artificial Intelligence in Resource Management and Environmental Sustainability

Artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming resource management and environmental sustainability by enabling smarter, data-driven decisions across energy, agriculture, water, transportation, and climate science. This presentation explores how AI technologies - including machine learning, predictive analytics, digital twins, and the Internet of Things (IoT) - are improving resource efficiency, supporting environmental conservation, and accelerating sustainable development.

The lecture highlights real-world applications, discusses emerging opportunities and challenges, and examines the ethical and policy considerations surrounding AI adoption. It concludes by exploring how collaboration between human expertise and intelligent systems can help build a more sustainable, resilient, and environmentally responsible future.
