Purpose: To explore the influence of AI-driven sustainable marketing strategies on consumer acceptance of responsible consumption.
Design/methodology/approach: Quantitative methodology was employed through an online self-administered questionnaire completed by 826 consumers from the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
Findings: Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven marketing strategies can increase consumers’ responsible consumption with social proof via micro-influencers having the strongest influence. In addition, verified sustainable purchases are supported by transparent supply chain data. MENA brands can establish trust as more people use digital marketing.
Original/Value of the Paper:  The paper is the first empirical study of six dimensions that provides a framework of culturally based quantifiable findings that have not previously been considered in the literature.
Research Limitations: Restricted to an urban population of consumers in the MENA region and self-reported data, the results can be biased against rural or less digitally literate groups.
Practical Implications: Regulators and platforms can use an evidence-based approach to require transparency-enhancing AI tools in digital marketplaces.
