Keywords:
–Artificial Intelligence, sustainable consumer behavior, consumer decision- making, sustainable consumption, green purchasing, ethical consumption, AI recommendations, digital technologies and environmental sustainability.Abstract
Artificial Intelligence is changing the way people buy things and use products. Artificial Intelligence is doing this with the help of things like systems that suggest what to buy helpers that talk to us and ideas that're just for us. These things help people make choices and they also help businesses by saving them money and making their customers happy. This paper looks at what other people have said about how Artificial Intelligence affects what people buy and how they use things. It talks about how Artificial Intelligence helps people make choices how it helps people take care of the earth and what is good and bad about using Artificial Intelligence to help the earth. The things people have written say that Artificial Intelligence can help people make choices that're good, for the earth. Artificial Intelligence does this by helping people know what to buy and how to take care of the earth. Artificial Intelligence only works well if it has good information if people trust it and if it is used in a fair way. We need to know about these things so Artificial Intelligence can help make the world a better place.
