Abstract

The current study investigates how artificial intelligence (AI) impacts sustainable development in emerging markets, with a focus on Thailand. Following a systematic review approach, research designs are configured for reviewing empirical evidence within peer-reviewed papers and reports. It also presents an overview of the adoption of AI in agriculture, health, and urban planning. The key findings lend credence to the potential use of AI in achieving resource optimality, reducing environmental damage, and urging social equity in its use. But these very initiatives are hampered by the digital divide, concerns about data privacy, and bias in algorithms. The way forward should be to establish solid, regulatory frameworks geared towards more investment in infrastructure with ethical AI practices that will lead to optimal gains. The huge potentials for AI to enable sustainability in Thailand are there; hence, it is very important to reduce the associated risks that require equitably distributed results in all sectors.
