Abstract

The environmental challenge may be the most serious and urgent, given the significant pollution of air, water, and soil, which are the three main components of the ecosystem, with the increase in global warming and climate change that the world is witnessing, which threatens the very existence of man on this earth. AI has the potential to accelerate global efforts to protect the environment and conserve resources by monitoring air pollution and energy emissions, helping develop transportation networks, monitoring deforestation, and forecasting extreme weather. Hence the importance of using the latest technology to combat environmental pollution, leading to the environmental sustainability that countries seek to achieve. As such, the use of AI offers an opportunity to make meaningful change in this critical moment, whether through mitigation, adaptation, and resilience or by supporting the fundamentals of overall climate efforts. As for consumers, they will benefit from AI in the form of improving services, providing recommendations and quality more efficiently, as well as bringing about fundamental and tangible changes in industries such as health care, transportation, and pharmaceuticals in a safer manner. Of course, people's lives will change for the better from the presence of self-driving cars and the expansion of this technology to other means of transportation such as trains, ships, and planes. It is expected that companies will reduce a lot of expenses thanks to artificial intelligence and its applications, which are increasing day after day, as well as the accompanying innovations and new inventions that will strongly affect daily life.
