Promoting sustainability is a worldwide challenge that encourages all sectors of society to cultivate a sense of responsibility for the ecological, social, and economic network that supports us. This ongoing research aims to analyze how Brazil’s artificial intelligence community has considered environmental sustainability. This paper presents the results of an assessment of how frequently and in what ways environmental sustainability is addressed in Brazil’s largest artificial intelligence conference, BRACIS. The study analyzed 146 articles from the 2025 edition and categorized them into three levels of relation to environmental sustainability: direct, indirect, and none. The methodology included examination of titles, abstracts, full-text keyword analysis, and contextual verification to ensure accurate classification. The results reveal a substantial research gap: most articles showed no connection to environmental sustainability, and only about 3% presented explicit and meaningful sustainability indicators. These findings highlight the limited integration of environmental considerations in Brazilian AI research and reinforce the need for greater alignment with global sustainability goals.
