Artificial intelligence (AI) has reshaped various aspects of human lives, particularly through its capabilities to address complex sustainability challenges. Despite the rapid expansion of AI applications, their contribution to cleaner production and sustainable development remains underexplored, especially in developing nations. In Southeast Asia (SEA), where AI adoption has grown substantially across environmental, economic, and social dimensions, research that examines its role in cleaner production outcomes remains fragmented. In view of this gap, this study conducts a systematic literature review (SLR) of AI applications related to cleaner production and sustainable development by examining relevant themes, application areas, and sustainability dimensions addressed by AI, while evaluating the maturity of AI methodologies, alignment with cleaner production outcomes, and integration with circular economy and resource efficiency goals. Moreover, it investigates the barriers and challenges that constrain AI application and offers future research directions to advance AI deployment for cleaner production and sustainable development across SEA countries.

The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) is critically transforming the renewable energy sector. This review synthesizes AI's role in optimizing solar and wind energy systems, focusing on power forecasting, system optimization, and predictive maintenance. The research goal was to systematically analyze how diverse AI techniques enhance these critical aspects. Key findings indicate AI's capacity to substantially improve short-term solar irradiance and wind power forecasts (e.g., via SARIMAX, long short-term memory (LSTM), and hybrid deep learning models), dynamically manage energy flow in smart grids and microgrids, optimize maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic (PV) systems, and enable proactive maintenance through anomaly detection in wind turbines using IoT-integrated AI. Key conclusions reveal that AI significantly enhances the efficiency, reliability, and economic viability of solar photovoltaic and wind power generation, offering superior adaptability and predictive capabilities over traditional methods. While AI is important for the global transition to cleaner energy, persistent challenges related to data quality and availability, model interpretability, and cybersecurity must be addressed to fully unlock its potential in practical renewable energy applications.

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming the prediction and optimization of advanced energy materials by enabling accurate, scalable modeling beyond traditional methods. This review evaluates recent AI applications—including Graph Neural Networks (GNNs), Convolutional and Recurrent Neural Networks (CNNs, RNNs), tree-based ensembles, and Gaussian Process Regression (GPR)—for forecasting performance metrics such as overpotential, conductivity, capacity, and degradation. GNNs achieved R2 > 0.90 in structure-sensitive tasks; LSTM models predicted battery degradation with <10% error; and tree-based models balanced accuracy (MAE < 0.15 V) with interpretability. GPR excelled in low-data regimes via uncertainty quantification. Hybrid and physics-informed models improved generalizability and data efficiency. While challenges remain in data quality and integration with experiments, emerging strategies like autonomous labs and generative design offer promising advances. This review provides comparative benchmarks and highlights pathways for robust AI-driven materials discovery.

Mathematics is a subject that often feels distant from everyday life, yet its logic quietly shapes the world around us. As learners continue to question its practical significance, there is a growing need to rethink mathematics education. Recently, the emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) has opened new possibilities for transforming how mathematics is taught and learned. This chapter aims to examine the emerging role of AI in mathematics education by synthesizing current tools, identifying prevailing trends, and exploring transformative applications. Using a narrative review supported by expert-informed synthesis, several themes are identified that reflect how AI are reshaping instructional practices, learner engagement, and pedagogical design. The discussion integrates illustrative examples of AI tools to highlight their instructional relevance and underlying mechanisms. The chapter concludes by reflecting on a redefined landscape for mathematics education, where technology transforms instructional practices, learner experiences, and the development of mathematical thinking.

The inclusion of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) into cybersecurity education offers a significant opportunity to customize learning, improve engagement, and connect theoretical concepts with practical applications. This study presents the Dynamic Integration and Optimization of NetCyber Activities (DIONA) system which is an AI-enhanced educational tool developed from the NetFusion Learning Academy (NLA) to tackle ongoing issues in conventional cybersecurity education, including restricted adaptability, absence of real-time feedback, and inadequate practical skill application. The study employs a systematic methodology based on four distinct objectives: (1) to assess the efficacy of NLA in improving student learning across five critical domains— knowledge retention, practical skills, engagement, conceptual understanding, and problem-solving; (2) to examine student and faculty perceptions of its educational value; (3) to develop the ACTIVE AI Framework for AI-driven pedagogy; and (4) to create and validate DIONA as an AI/ML-based experiential learning platform. Statistical and thematic analyses indicated that although NLA effectively enhances knowledge and engagement, deficiencies persist in practical skills and problem-solving, necessitating the incorporation of AI-powered tools. The ACTIVE AI Framework and DIONA system offer customized learning trajectories, AI-generated feedback, and immersive simulations that correspond with authentic cybersecurity challenges. Results endorse the significance of intelligent learning analytics and specialized AI systems in transforming technical education and equipping students for changing digital environments.

This study examined factors driving the adoption of generative artificial intelligence tools like ChatGPT for research writing through an integrated framework combining the Technology Acceptance Model, Task Technology Fit, and Trust in Specific Technology. Responses from 564 researchers in 12 countries were analyzed using a structural equation modeling approach. Intriguingly, perceived usefulness and ease of use were insignificant despite being considered the strongest predictors of behavioral intention in countless studies. Instead, researchers prioritize trusting beliefs and the compatibility between a technology and a task when considering its use. It was also found that trust in the technology has greater explanatory power than task-technology compatibility, and this trust is influenced by beliefs that ChatGPT is a socially and academically accepted tool for manuscript writing. Overall, this study contributes new insights for researchers, funding bodies, publishers, policymakers, and the academic community as they navigate the evolving role of AI in scholarly writing.
