Abstract: Sustainable development is one of the most significant and meaningful trends in the world. However, the process of implementing the Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals, approved on 25 September 2015, reflects the ability to achieve no more than 20% of stated goals, which requires a solution that will allow for accelerating the pace of a resilient transformation. The objective of this paper is to substantiate the role of artificial intelligence technologies in ensuring effective ESG (environmental, social, governance) transformation in the process of developing managerial decisions aimed at achieving sustainable development of the enterprise by integrating into design-thinking. The research methodology is based on scientific papers on sustainable development, digital technologies, artificial intelligence, and design thinking. Analytical data from various world rankings, as well as reviews of sustainable development practices and digitalization of companies, were employed. General scientific and special methods of cognition were used to conduct the study. As a result, the role of artificial intelligence in the processes of the sustainable transformation of modern companies was identified and justified. This is reflected in the proposed algorithms and models for the development and implementation of a sustainable development strategy.
