Green and sustainable investment has gained increasing global attention due to the urgency of the climate crisis, social demands, and the adoption of Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) principles. However, research on the application of artificial intelligence (AI) in this domain remains fragmented and lacks a comprehensive mapping. This study aims to map the trends, research directions, and key findings related to AI in green and sustainable investment using a bibliometric and systematic literature review (SLR) approach. Data were retrieved from the Scopus database and screened with the PRISMA framework, resulting in 24 articles analyzed through VOSviewer and thematic synthesis. The results indicate significant developments in energy efficiency, green buildings, machine learning, and sustainability, alongside an expanding pattern of international collaboration. Nonetheless, limitations remain, including insufficient cross-sectoral integration, limited empirical studies in developing countries, and the lack of AI models that holistically incorporate risk, ESG, and SDGs indicators. The main contribution of this study lies in providing a structured literature mapping that can serve as a foundation for developing more integrative AI frameworks and expanding research contexts to optimize sustainable green investment. These findings are expected to be valuable for researchers and practitioners in advancing innovation and strengthening the AI-driven sustainable finance ecosystem.
