Artificial Intelligence for Sustainable Water, Energy, and Food Security (WEF)

To promote sustainable development and ensure economic growth, Malaysia is currently making significant efforts to become a hub for artificial intelligence innovations. Therefore, this examines relationships between artificial intelligence and water, food, and energy resources, especially within the case of Malaysia, since such relationships are often overlooked. In being able to explore linkages of artificial intelligence in Malaysia, the current study examines data from the period 2019–2023 using a methodology of a direct impact assessment. The findings show that there is a positive correlation between artificial intelligence and food, energy, and water resources and thus ensure resource sustainability. Additionally, the study displays frameworks outlining an artificial intelligence-based resource security model and emphasizes AI’s sustainability contributions to food, energy, and water resources and its role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Consequently, it is therefore recommended that policymakers should be supportive of incorporating artificial intelligence technologies to ensure sustainability activities for Malaysia.
