AMMAN — Environmental specialists and experts are
pushing for the integration of
artificial intelligence (AI) as a transformative
tool to strengthen conservation efforts and promote sustainability across the
Kingdom. As the Kingdom faces mounting challenges from
population growth and
its consequential surge in waste generation, the preservation of the
environment has become a pressing concern for the country.

Jordan experiences evident signs of the global
climate change crisis, with rainfall patterns deviating from historical averages. This affects
plant growth, groundwater recharge, and soil enrichment, while evaporation
poses threats to agriculture, public health, and water quality, given the
country's reliance on groundwater as its primary drinking water source, Hala
news reported.
Immense potential in transforming waste management, environmental
monitoring, and marine protectionDr. Qasim Al-Radaideh, Dean of the College of Information
Technology and
Computer Science at
Yarmouk University, highlights the immense
potential of AI technologies in transforming waste management, environmental
monitoring, and marine protection.
By employing AI-driven smart systems equipped with sensors in waste
containers, efficient waste management can be achieved, optimizing
recycling practices and minimizing the overall environmental impact.
AI technology proves invaluable in detecting and responding to
fires
Moreover, AI-powered robots play a pivotal role in
preserving the environment by effectively collecting waste and cleaning polluted areas,
thereby mitigating pollution and elevating cleanliness levels. Furthermore, AI
technology proves invaluable in detecting and responding to fires, thus
reinforcing public safety and environmental protection efforts.
AI applications extend their benefits to the
marine environment,
where smart systems monitor pollution levels, contributing to the preservation
of marine ecosystems and the safeguarding of endangered species.
The realm of
water management also stands to benefit from AI, as
the technology's data-driven approach allows for meticulous analysis of water
consumption patterns, thereby enhancing water use efficiency and promptly detecting
any leaks or losses.
Challenges in adoption
Amidst the promising potential of
AI in environmental preservation,
experts acknowledge challenges in its adoption. Addressing technical
complexities, economic considerations, and adherence to relevant legislative
frameworks are essential for successful and sustainable integration of AI in
Jordan's environmental conservation efforts.
