Artificial intelligence can be a game changer to address the global challenge of humanity-threatening climate change by fostering sustainable development. Since chemical research and development lay the foundation for innovative products and solutions, this study presents a novel chemical research and development process backed with artificial intelligence and guiding ethical principles to account for both process- and outcome-related sustainability. Particularly in ethically salient contexts, ethical principles have to accompany research and development powered by artificial intelligence to promote social and environmental good and sustainability (beneficence) while preventing any harm (non-maleficence) for all stakeholders (i.e., companies, individuals, society at large) affected.

人工智能可以通过促进可持续发展来改变游戏规则，以应对威胁人类的气候变化的全球挑战。由于化学研究和开发为创新产品和解决方案奠定了基础，因此本研究提出了一种以人工智能和指导道德原则为支持的新型化学研究和开发流程，以考虑与流程和结果相关的可持续性。特别是在道德突出的背景下，道德原则必须伴随人工智能驱动的研究和开发，以促进社会和环境的良好和可持续性（仁慈），同时防止对所有利益相关者（即公司、个人、社会）造成任何伤害（非恶意）。大）受到影响。
