Exploring the effects of Air Pollution, Renewable Energy usage, and AI-driven Technologies on Australia's Economic Development Using the ARDL Model

Abstract

This research uses the ARDL model to evaluate the impact of air pollution, renewable energy, and AI technologies on Australia's economic growth from 2010 to 2020. Findings indicate that renewable energy may negatively affect growth in the short term, but it has a positive long-term impact.AI boosts GDP quickly. Air pollution negatively impacts economic performance, underscoring the need for environmental regulations. The limits test indicates a consistent long term link between the variables, validating co-integration. This research bridges a knowledge gap by integrating AI, sustainability, and environmental factors into a unified framework. It offers insights to better align AI and renewable energy policies for sustainable growth. 
Keywords: Economic Growth, Artificial Intelligence, Environmental Sustainability, ARDL, Renewable Energy.
