This review of literature focuses on the deployment of transparent, ethical AI technologies in environmental domains (climate change, hydrology, pollution, and biodiversity) in Iraq, advocating a pivotal role for AI in advancing a resilient, sustainable ecology. Issues related to Iraq's preparedness to embrace the AI and IoT revolution were discussed, as these technologies are globally shaping sectors such as health, finance, and the environment. An attempt was made to explore the complex conundrum of introducing AI technologies into the even more complex challenges posed by the weak digital and ICT infrastructure, with recognition that scientists have already considered AI models in the investigation of environmental domains as an alternative to traditional approaches to improve predictability and decision-making in search of sustainable solutions.
