Abstract

The article aims to analyse AI’s use for optimising management processes in urban waste incineration plants, making them consistent with the implementation of the sustainable development goals SDG #11 and SDG #12. The triangulation of research methods was chosen to achieve the most reliable research outcomes. The case study was the selected qualitative method. Among the available techniques, two were selected: Computer-Assisted Web Interviewing (CAWI) and in-depth interviews, both of which were employed to gather the necessary data. Scientific research analysed the AI-based technologies used by individual incinerators. The analysis encompassed trends in waste incineration plants utilising AI for sustainable development in smart cities, particularly for achieving SDG#11 and SDG#12, focusing on leveraging AI to enhance environmental outcomes. The effect of using AI in municipal waste incineration plants for SDG#11 and SDG#12 can be applied to other entities implementing the principles of sustainable development in smart cities. The identified trends underscore the importance of adopting and implementing integrated policies and plans that address inclusion, resource efficiency, climate change mitigation and adaptation.
