Workshop_in_brief
As the world faces unprecedented sustainability challenges, including biodiversity loss, resource depletion, and ecosystem degradation, there is a critical need for innovative, scalable, and data-informed solutions. Artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a transformative technology with the potential to accelerate progress toward sustainability goals by enhancing efficiency, optimizing resource use, improving environmental monitoring, and enabling data-informed decision-making.
To examine AI opportunities, challenges, and pathways through a lens of sustainability, the National Academies of Science, Engineering, and Medicine's Roundtable on Science and Technology for Sustainability, in collaboration with the Board on Mathematical Sciences and Analytics and the Board on Human-Systems Integration convened a hybrid workshop on June 4, 2025. The workshop examined how AI can be leveraged to maximize benefits for the United States at the intersection of nature, people, and this critical technology. This Proceedings of a Workshop-in Brief provides a high-level summary of key discussions held during the workshop.
