Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) technologies is reshaping economies worldwide, profoundly influencing sustainability and innovation. By integrating into critical sectors, AI demonstrates immense potential to drive structural changes in green development, green technological innovation, and supply chain management. For example, AI-powered analytics optimize risk assessment and resource allocation, enabling the efficient financing of environmentally friendly projects. Additionally, AI accelerates breakthroughs in clean energy, carbon reduction technologies, and circular economy initiatives. In supply chains, AI enhances resilience and sustainability by improving logistics precision, traceability, and environmental impact reduction.
Despite these advancements, challenges persist, particularly in addressing technological disparities and mitigating unintended economic and environmental consequences. Against this backdrop, this Special Issue examines how AI technologies can promote economic development while ensuring environmental sustainability. It aims to provide actionable insights for policymakers, researchers, and industry practitioners on the synergy between AI and sustainable economic transformation.
We are pleased to invite you to contribute to this Special Issue.
This Special Issue explores the transformative role of AI in advancing sustainable economic development. By emphasizing technological innovation, supply chain resilience, and international green economic cooperation, we aim to demonstrate how AI can address global challenges while fostering innovation and economic growth.
We welcome contributions in various formats, including regular papers, short notes, and survey articles, to provide diverse perspectives on the role of AI in driving sustainable development and economic transformation.
In this Special Issue, original research articles and reviews are welcome. Research areas may include (but are not limited to) the following:
- AI and digitalization in green investment and sustainable finance;
- Advancing green technological innovation through AI-enabled solutions;
- AI-driven transformations in supply chain management and logistics;
- Cross-border digital trade and investment cooperation enabled by AI;
- Policy and governance challenges in AI-driven sustainable development;
- Case studies of AI applications in environmental and economic sustainability.
We look forward to receiving your contributions and insights.
