What the paper says

This study examines the multifaceted effects of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on human beings physically, mentally, and environmentally while emphasizing the need for sustainable and ethical integration. Drawing on interdisciplinary research, the paper explores AI’s dual role as both an enabler of efficiency and a driver of risk. It highlights how AI technologies influence occupational health, psychological well-being, and environmental sustainability. Guided by Socio-Technical Systems Theory, Technological Determinism, and Sustainability Transition Theory, the study synthesizes evidence from academic and industry sources to assess AI’s consequences and opportunities. Findings suggest that AI’s benefits are substantial but require governance frameworks that align innovation with human welfare and environmental responsibility. The paper concludes with recommendations for policies, regulations, and collaborative initiatives that promote sustainable AI deployment.
