Artificial Intelligence and Sustainability : A Study of AI Use for Ecological Sustainability Issues in the Aviation Industry (English)
Abstract [en]
The aim of this thesis was to explore the challenges and associated with the use of Artificial
Intelligence (AI) for environmental sustainability within the aviation industry. This study
adopts a case study approach and uses semi-structured interviews as well as thematic
analysis to achieve this. The findings of the study indicate that while AI has a part in
environmental sustainability, its impact is not predominant. Other factors such as
Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) and new airplane technology plays a far more significant
role. Other challenges include the difference in research expectations of AI versus the
actual potential as well as an overwhelming focus on economic sustainability rather than
ecological regarding the use of AI. Regarding the possibilities, the study found that
airlines, today, use AI for optimization, which indirectly results in environmental
sustainability. This research contributes to the growing body of knowledge regarding AI
usage for environmental sustainability, specifically in the aviation industry.
