<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size:12.0pt; font-family:"Cambria",serif">The incorporation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into all areas of society is among the great challenges that we are facing nowadays. Especially after the Co-Vid 19 pandemic, its relation
to sustainability stand out, as this will be one of the pillars of the future. We are referring to sustainability in a broad sense that is, to the use of AI applied to environmental aspects, but also to energy, economy and social perspectives. Moreover, AI
itself should also pursue sustainability in massive data handling and processing, as well as in the consumption of machine learning algorithms. </span></p>
