Summary/Abstract: This paper explores the philosophical perspective on the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in promoting ecocentric values and cultivating a harmonious relationship between humanity and the natural environment. It is argued that embedding environmental ethics into technological innovation can contribute more effectively to sustainable ecological outcomes and to achieving responsible development, understood as a form of social activity grounded in economic growth, moral responsibility, and ecological awareness. The study further examines various pathways for integrating environmentally responsible values through AI, with particular attention to the importance of building interconnected systems at the local, national, and regional levels, illustrated through the example of Azerbaijan. It is also emphasized that aligning technological development with long-term ecological well-being requires coordinated policy systems and ethically grounded regulatory principles. The author concludes that these principles stem from a coherent philosophical understanding of the nature of human and his place in the world, which is essential for social equity. Without such an understanding, AI-driven ecological strategies risk remaining fragmented, inadequately implemented, or misaligned with broader societal goals.
