Summary/Abstract: Artificial intelligence (AI) enters everyday life and becomes an indispensable tool for developmentin many areas of private, professional and economic life. In this sense, one of the sectorswhere AI can have a significant impact is the environmental sector. AI is the field of computerscience that deals with the creation of programmes and systems that exhibit some degree ofintelligence, such as image recognition, natural language understanding, planning, decisionmakingor experiential learning. Artificial intelligence uses technologies such as neural networks,machine learning, natural language processing, robotics or computer graphics, amongothers. It is necessary to establish a legal framework to regulate the use of artificial intelligencein various fields such as medicine, industry, transport, security, public administration or the financialmarket. The aim of artificial intelligence law is to ensure safety, ethics and compliancewith existing regulations in artificial intelligence applications, as well as to protect privacy andconsumer rights. In particular, these are aspects that affect digital transparency and neutral algorithms.Artificial intelligence can also be used in environmental protection. It is also necessaryto analyse regulations in this area to support the process of reducing the negative impact ofhuman activities on ecosystems. AI can be used to predict the effects of climate change, monitorand protect various ecosystems, optimise energy consumption or reduce emissions of harmfulsubstances. As part of the law of artificial intelligence in environmental protection, in additionto ensuring the compliance with existing legislation, special regulations may be introduced forthe use of AI, such as the mandatory use of AI in the environmental impact assessment processbefore the start of new industrial projects or the requirement for large companies to monitorgreenhouse gas emissions using advanced AI systems.
