This book explores the complex interplay between AI and corporate-driven sustainable development.  Merging theoretical insights with practical applications, it engages debates on the ethical use of AI in sustainable development and corporate responsibility while examining how AI facilitates sustainable practices and presents complex dilemmas, particularly in balancing economic, social, and environmental sustainability. The narrative is enriched by a comprehensive review of academic studies, analyzing how established and sustainability-rooted companies approach these paradoxes differently.

The authors critically assess how AI and corporate actions intertwine with regional efforts to combat grand humanity challenges, such as climate change and poverty, highlighting the need for transformative strategies and governance modes that can propel positive corporate contributions to sustainability.

Through a mix of scholarly insights and expert viewpoints, this volume invites readers to explore the multifaceted relationship between AI, corporate sustainability, and global environmental goals.  It is an essential read for business leaders, policymakers, and anyone invested in shaping a sustainable future in an AI-driven world.
