The workshop will focus on the techniques and applications of AI in promoting a just transition toward a sustainable future. Key principles of fairness, inclusivity, and equity will be our guiding compass. Our aim is to provide technical discussions to tackle the broader implications of AI, addressing critical challenges in the following but not limited to:

- To explore AI's potential in fostering ethical corporate communication and green practices.
- To evaluate AIs role in driving sustainable transitions across environmental, societal, and economic domains.
- To discuss AI's significance in supporting smaller entities to achieve sustainability and maintain competitiveness.
- To examine the challenges related to data privacy and sovereignty in AI applications.
- To assess the impact of domain-adapted models with novel architecture or methods, including LLMs
- To explore rhetoric, persuasion techniques, and discourse used in the sustainability domain and provide NLP and CV models to analyze them.
- To enhance AI engineers' awareness of the socio-economic impacts of their models, especially using graph learning, agents, time series analysis, and causal factor analysis
- To furnish social scientists with datasets and tools, particularly for ML tasks, for robust economic and sustainability research.
- To establish a platform for interdisciplinary dialogue on the intersection of AI, fairness, bias, ethics, sustainability, and data privacy.
