AI Actors in International Political Ecology

330 Seiten, Taschenbuch

Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly shaping how societies understand, govern, and respond to complex environmental challenges. As data-driven technologies become integrated into climate monitoring, resource management, conservation initiatives, and environmental policymaking, AI has emerged as a significant force within international political ecology. Its growing influence affects the production and distribution of environmental knowledge, decision-making processes, and access to natural resources. At the same time, the expanding use of AI raises critical concerns regarding power, inequality, sustainability, accountability, and governance, particularly as technological capabilities remain concentrated among a limited number of organizations and institutions. Examining AI through the lens of international political ecology provides valuable insight into how these technologies are transforming human-environment relationships and reshaping global environmental governance. AI Actors in International Political Ecology explores the dynamic intersections of AI, ecological systems, and governance in an increasingly digital world. The book critically examines how algorithmic infrastructures, AI-driven decision-making systems, and data-intensive socio-technical networks are redefining concepts of agency, power, environmental stewardship, and resource management. Covering topics such as algorithmic bias, digital governance, and sustainability, this book is a valuable resource for policymakers, government officials, environmental practitioners, engineers, academics, researchers, and scientists interested in the evolving relationship between technology, ecology, and society.
