Abstract

This article analyzes the theoretical and practical aspects of using artificial intelligence algorithms in environmental monitoring. Under digitalization, the high cost, long duration, and relatively low accuracy of traditional observation methods increase the need for rapid and reliable processing of environmental data. The authors show that artificial intelligence can be used to monitor water, air, soil, and natural hazards, as well as to determine pollutant concentrations. The study compares SVM, SVR, decision trees, random forests, RNN, CNN, and hybrid models and evaluates their strengths and weaknesses. It also identifies challenges related to data quality, computing resources, model interpretability, security, generalization capability, and energy consumption. The article concludes that effective artificial intelligence solutions in environmental monitoring should be regarded not only as a technical achievement but also as a comprehensive management tool that contributes to environmental sustainability.
