The targeted application of AI in sustainability is a relatively new development. One of the most useful ways to understand the market is to know who the most the innovative and disruptive players are, what they’re doing, and how this activity is influencing emerging ‘hotspots’ at the nexus of well-understood problem and well-honed AI solution.
There is a paradox surrounding the use of AI in sustainability, however, because – while AI supports practices to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and mitigate the environmental impact of twenty-first century life – its use also contributes to the problem. Weighing the positives and negatives of AI in sustainability is therefore highly nuanced, often requiring an assessment of energy efficiency vs. outcome effectiveness.
In this report, we look at ten disruptive and innovative suppliers in the field, whose offerings leverage AI across a number of sustainability use cases. Some bring sector-specific applicability – in manufacturing, energy, agriculture, etc.; others have more general appeal. We highlight key trends in the deployment of AI in sustainability, and also provide recommendations for both technology suppliers and end-user organisations.
