Abstract
Sustainability is widely considered a good thing and is therefore a matter of ethical significance. This paper analyzes the ethical dimensions of existing work on AI and sustainability, finding that most of it is focused on sustaining the environment for human benefit. The paper calls for sustainability that is not human-centric and that extends into the distant future, especially for advanced future AI as a technology that can advance expansion beyond Earth.
