Abstract

This paper explores the integration of Green Intellectual Capital (GIC) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) as a strategic pathway for promoting sustainable development in Arab universities. Drawing on contemporary literature, the study develops a conceptual understanding of how the core dimensions of GIC—green human capital, green structural capital, and green relational capital—can be enhanced through AI-enabled technologies. The analysis highlights the role of AIdriven systems, such as big data analytics, decision support systems, and predictive analytics, in strengthening knowledge creation, eco-innovation, and efficient resource management within higher education institutions. By linking AI capabilities with green intellectual assets, universities can improve environmental performance, support data-driven decision-making, and advance smart campus initiatives. The paper argues that the AI–GIC integration acts as a catalyst for sustainability-oriented institutional transformation, aligning digital innovation with environmental responsibility. Finally, the study offers practical implications for higher education leaders and provides a theoretical foundation for future empirical research on AI-enabled green universities in the MENA region.
