Environmental Sustainability, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Future of the Humanities

Since the dawn of the 21st century, the collective existence of humanity has been defined by two intersecting forces: the accelerating crisis of environmental injustice and the disruptive rise of Artificial Intelligence (AI). As these forces reshape the global landscape, the role of the humanities has become more crucial than ever. The humanities are no longer merely passive observers of the world; they are the interpretative and ethical anchors required to navigate a technological era that threatens to outpace our moral and cultural frameworks. Environmental Sustainability, Artificial Intelligence (AI) and the Future of the Humanities offers a comprehensive and multi-disciplinary exploration of these dynamics by bringing together diverse perspectives to interrogate how humanistic inquiry can humanise technology and safeguard our natural and cultural environments.
