Abstract
This manuscript presents an innovative approach to the concept of sustainability in the realm of Artificial Intelligence (AI), recognizing that sustainability is a dynamic vision characterized by harmony and balance. We argue that achieving sustainability in AI systems requires moving beyond rigid adherence to protocols and compliance checklists, which tend to simplify sustainability into static criteria. Instead, sustainable AI should reflect the balance and adaptability intrinsic to the broader vision of sustainability. In crafting this vision, we draw upon the principles of complex systems theory, the wisdom of philosophical doctrines, and the insights of ecology, weaving them into a comprehensive paradigm.
