Abstract: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and sustainability in cultural and creative product design serves as a transformative way to create environmentally sustainable products. This study examines the interaction of AI-driven design methodologies and the principles of sustainable development to improve the lifecycle, the choice of materials, and the efficiency of the production of cultural and creative products. By combining machine learning algorithms, generative design techniques, and eco-friendly materials, designers can create eco-conscious products that protect cultural heritage while reducing ecological harm. The research analyses the possible applications of artificial intelligence, such as predictive analytics for resource optimisation, AI-driven eco-design frameworks, and computational creativity for sustainable aesthetics. The conclusions will add to and invigorate the ongoing conversation within the field of sustainable design as a result of the introduction of AI. The study also suggests that technological, artistic, and environmental goals should be integrated into a unified framework.
Keywords: AI-driven design; sustainability; cultural products; eco-friendly innovation; computational creativity.
