Sustainable growth and the role of artificial intelligence in improving circular economy

Abstract

Sustainable development has three dimensions, economic, social and environmental. The three-fold dimension of sustainable development implies the consideration of the environmental issue that goes beyond mere protection of the environment since it cannot be considered separately from the economic-productive system and social needs. The circular economy operates along the same three dimensions. A central role in the successful implementation of the circular economy must necessarily be given to the enterprises. Artificial intelligence provides a powerful tool in the transition to a circular economy, acting as an instrument for innovation in the business model, by directing business activity towards sustainable capitalism, overcoming the model of capitalism aimed solely at profit.
