Building on critical technology and AI studies as well as materialist thinking, I shed light on the hegemonic narratives, visions, and beliefs that ground the technological horizon of this conception. Thus adding to a critical theory of technology, the central aim of this paper is to “demystify the illusion of technical necessity” with which sustainable AI is presented and “expose the relativity of the prevailing technical choices”. The pursuit of sustainable AI is not driven by benevolent intentions for resource-friendly and ethical solutions but represents a contingent choice that emerges as the technological manifestation of the current socio-economic horizon.Laying out this argument, the paper proceeds as follows. First, I survey the concept of sustainable AI. Second, I demystify the narratives, visions, and beliefs behind the concept by sketching three epistemological dimensions to analyze AI: AI-as-technology, AI-beyond-technology, and AI-as-ideology. Grounded in science and technology studies (STS) and philosophy of technology (PhilTech), this threefold distinction lays the foundations for a critical assessment of sustainable AI and details the ways that this conception reinforces the existing status quo. Third, I expand these insights and identify the techno-solutionist and economic narratives that facilitate the current enthusiasm for sustainable AI. Finally, I demonstrate how this enthusiasm inadvertently co-opts genuine climate solutions, creating the illusion of moving forward while being stuck within a system of economic, environmental, and social exploitation. The inevitable conclusion is that a climate-friendly future demands a different path."<a href="https://ojs.weizenbaum-institut.de/index.php/wjds/article/view/4_1_4/119" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank">https://ojs.weizenbaum-institut.de/index.php/wjds/article/view/4_1_4/119</a>
