Abstract

Kaynakların olabildiğince uzun süre kullanımda tutulduğu ve atıkların en aza indirildiği döngüsel ekonomi kavramı iş dünyasında giderek daha fazla ilgi görmektedir. Teknolojinin, özellikle de yapay zekanın yardımıyla işletmeler ve diğer kurumlar kaynak kullanımını optimize edebilir, atık ve emisyonları azaltabilir ve kaynak geri kazanım ve geri dönüşüm süreçlerinin verimliliğini artırabilirler. Bu çalışma, döngüsel bir ekonomiye geçişi kolaylaştırmada yapay zekanın potansiyeline ilişkin sınırları tanımlamayı amaçlamaktadır. Bu derleme çalışması, döngüsel ekonomi kavramına ve potansiyel faydalarına genel bir bakış sağlayarak başlayacaktır. Daha sonra döngüsel uygulamaların hayata geçirilmesinde karşılaşılan mevcut zorluklar ve yapay zekanın bu zorlukların aşılmasına nasıl yardımcı olabileceği tartışılacaktır. Makale ayrıca döngüsel ekonomide yapay zeka kullanımının potansiyel risklerini ve sınırlamalarını da vurgulayacaktır. Çalışmanın döngüsel ekonomiye geçişte yapay zekadan nasıl etkili bir şekilde yararlanılacağı konusunda işletmeler ve politika yapıcılar için yol gösterici olacağı düşünülmektedir.

THE ROLE OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN FACILITATING THE TRANSITION TO A CIRCULAR ECONOMY

Abstract

The concept of a circular economy, where resources are kept in use for as long as possible and waste is minimized, is gaining increasing attention in the business world. With the help of technology, particularly artificial intelligence (AI), businesses and other organizations can optimize resource use, reduce waste and emissions, and improve the efficiency of resource recovery and recycling processes. This manuscript aimed to draw the boundaries of the potential of AI in facilitating the transition to a circular economy. This review will begin by providing an overview of the circular economy concept and its potential benefits. It will then discuss the current challenges faced in realizing circular practices and how AI can help overcome these challenges. The paper will also highlight potential risks and limitations of using AI in the circular economy. The study is expected to offer guidance for businesses and policymakers on effectively utilizing artificial intelligence in the transition to a circular economy.

Keywords

Circular economy, artificial intelligence, sustainability, resource efficiency, waste reduction.
