As in many other research domains, Artificial Intelligence (AI) techniques have been increasing their footprint in Earth Sciences to extract meaningful information from the large amount of high-detailed data available from multiple sensor modalities. While on the one hand the existing success cases endorse the great potential of AI to help address open challenges in ES, on the other hand on-going discussions and established lessons from studies on the sustainability, ethics and trustworthiness of AI must be taken into consideration if the community is to ensure that its research efforts move into directions that effectively benefit the society and the environment. In this paper, we discuss insights gathered from a brief literature review on the subtopics of AI Ethics, Sustainable AI, AI Trustworthiness and AI for Earth Sciences in an attempt to identify some of the promising directions and key needs to successfully bring these concepts together.
