Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: The environmental and climate crisis calls for the sustainable solutions. As a potential approach, this paper reviews the latest developments in the fields of artificial intelligence (AI) and biomimicry, and reveals that: (1) biomimicry can supplement digital methods to induce sustainable computing; (2) machine learning and AI offer opportunities to develop sustainable biomimetic systems; (3) AI and biomimicry can synergistically work together to find sustainable solutions. The remaining areas of improvement and actions are also discussed to list concrete actions that support the 17 sustainable development goals. This paper is aimed at researchers, developers and policymakers.
