Abstract

The inevitable plea from the environment for help and attention makes it extremely important to update our
educational paradigms by working on a more technology-driven approach to learning, especially the
generation of Z who is interested in being involved with the environment. Most conventional environmental
education methods are not so good at engaging these digitally native people. The research examines the
contribution of AI in producing success in three domains namely smart learning environments, AI which is all
about adaptation, and technologies creating an experience of the entire world.
Primarily, this article uses a Systematic Literature Review (SLR) as a research method for aggregating the
existing information on AI and sustainability and for evaluating the capacity of the AI to enable eco-literacy.
The authors employed Thematic Analysis as a methodology to deduce some of the current trends in this area,
including AI-based practices so that the learning can be personalised, games for learning, and augmented and
virtual reality. The study did not cover the full extent of ethical AI usage nor the accessibility challenges of
this technology in the future.
The results imply that AI is a game-changer in environmental education; however, it also struggles with
conflicting interests such as ethical norms, fair distribution, and accessibility. The investigation argues for
using AI in an environmentally friendly way where everyone has the right to it; besides that, such a system
should be accountable, transparent, and not run counter to the global environment protection goals
