Abstract: | The main research question of this Bachelor thesis is “What is the envisioned meaning and role of sustainable AI in Danish and German climate political discourses?“ To answer this question, a comparative case study applying a textual content analysis will be performed. This analysis will be based on policy documents from both countries, concerning their AI strategies and climate action policies, as well as their envisioned cooperation of both concepts. The data will be collected via online accessible governmental databases. Documents from the Danish government will be assessed in the English language, while German policy papers will be analyzed in English, as well as in their original form and language. The answer to this question and therefore the relevance of this paper is about showing, how innovative technology can be used to help tackle the climate crisis and enhance sustainable development. It is also about underlining the gap between the envisioned role and actual implementation of sustainable AI in regard to climate action. The findings of this analysis could potentially provide incentives and motivation as guidance for other climate political actors to enhance their climate action by implementing sustainable artificial intelligence into their climate policies. |
