Abstract: The implementation of artificial intelligence (AI) requires significant resources, which creates a conflict in light of the growing importance of sustainable practices. To address this challenge, it is essential to consider its reusability but the unique nature of AI necessitates the development of specific design principles tailored to AI systems. Thus, we utilize design science research and leverage established design knowledge that encompasses principles for creating AI solutions that can be reused. Our approach incorporates Wenger's (1998) framework of Community of Practice and involves iterative refinement and evaluation of our design knowledge through design thinking workshops, focus group discussions, and expert interviews. Furthermore, we explore how the established design principles for developing reusable AI solutions can contribute to the promotion of socially and environmentally sustainable business practices. By discussing these topics, we aim to inspire further exploration and investigation in the field of Information Systems research.
