Sustainable Material Selection in the Era of Artificial Intelligence

By incorporating sustainability concepts into the conventional criteria of performance maximization and cost reduction, we can design materials and products that are efficient, cost-effective, ecologically responsible and socially suitable.  

Promoting this approach is particularly important in the context of artificial intelligence, which despite its rapid growth remains dependent on scarce finite resources. Implementing a comprehensive approach in this emerging sector will necessitate coordinated efforts across education, incentives, policies, regulations, standards and institutional structures.
