How AI could help chemists make the field more sustainable and green
This article explores how artificial intelligence can be applied to advance green and sustainable chemistry. It references the foundational 12 Principles of Green Chemistry by Paul Anastas and John Warner (1998) and discusses how AI's data-crunching capabilities could help chemists optimize reactions, reduce waste, and minimize environmental impact by identifying subtle changes in materials and conditions that lead to more sustainable outcomes.
