Is AI something to make sustainable, or something that makes 
sustainability possible? This open-access reader, edited by Ana Adi, 
Alexandra Morton and Thomas Stoeckle and published by Quadriga 
University of Applied Sciences with the support of EUPRERA, keeps both 
questions open rather than choosing one. Fifteen scholars and 
practitioners write eighteen chapters. They move from AI as a wicked 
problem inside the polycrisis, through epistemic bias, cultural 
sustainability and the hidden labour behind training data, to the water, 
power and land behind the „weightless“ cloud. They end with the 
judgement communicators cannot outsource. The book asks for honesty 
about trade-offs, not solutions. It is also its own test case: every 
chapter discloses its AI use, and the editors used LLMs to design and 
produce the book. They say where that worked and where it did not.
