THE INTEGRATION OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE AND ESG EDUCATION: A MULTIDISCIPLINARY APPROACH TO AUDITING AND MANAGEMENT CURRICULA

Delyan Plachkov

Abstract


The advent and continuous evolution of artificial intelligence (AI) within the educational framework have catalyzed the development of sustainability-oriented thinking and the embedding of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) values into higher education curricula. This paper investigates the potential for AI technologies to synergistically enhance ESG education, focusing on auditing, financial management, and public administration disciplines. Through both theoretical assessments and empirical case studies, effective methods of integrating AI-enabled tools and adaptive learning mechanisms to cultivate ESG competencies in students are identified. The discussion culminates in actionable policy recommendations aimed at crafting curricular frameworks that promote sustainable, digitally supported education.
