In today's global economy, the general environmental quality continues to decline, posing significant challenges to sustainable development. However, aggregate green economic growth is increasingly being linked to countries' economic progress and environmental performance, particularly with the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) technology. This study focuses on examining the nexus between AI technology and green economic growth in selected European countries. Using a two-step panel GMM system estimation applied to data spanning from 2012 to 2022, the results posit that improvements in green economic growth have lasting positive effects due to factors such as the accumulation of knowledge, technological advancements, and continuous process improvements within industries. Furthermore, AI investments have a consistent positive impact on green economic growth (coefficient = 0.0002, p = 0.000), underscoring the importance of integrating advanced technologies to drive sustainable development. The results underscore the critical need for strategic and sustained investments in AI and green technologies to achieve long-term, resilient, and environmentally sustainable economic growth.

W dzisiejszej globalnej gospodarce ogólna jakość środowiska nadal się pogarsza, stwarzając znaczące wyzwania dla zrównoważonego rozwoju. Jednak zbiorczy zielony wzrost gospodarczy jest coraz częściej powiązany z postępem gospodarczym i wynikami ekologicznymi krajów, szczególnie wraz ze wzrostem technologii sztucznej inteligencji (SI). Niniejsze badanie koncentruje się na zbadaniu związku między technologią SI a zielonym wzrostem gospodarczym w wybranych krajach europejskich. Przy użyciu dwustopniowego systemu szacowania panelu GMM zastosowanego do danych obejmujących lata 2012-2022, wyniki wskazują, że poprawa zielonego wzrostu gospodarczego ma trwałe pozytywne efekty ze względu na czynniki takie jak akumulacja wiedzy, postęp technologiczny i ciągłe usprawnienia procesów w przemyśle. Ponadto inwestycje w SI mają stały pozytywny wpływ na zielony wzrost gospodarczy (współczynnik = 0,0002, p = 0,000), podkreślając znaczenie integracji zaawansowanych technologii w celu napędzania zrównoważonego rozwoju. Wyniki podkreślają krytyczną potrzebę strategicznych i trwałych inwestycji w SI oraz technologie zielone w celu osiągnięcia długoterminowego, odpornego i ekologicznie zrównoważonego wzrostu gospodarczego.
