Abstract

Resource misallocation in data governance is an overlooked source of carbon emissions, since most prioritization methods disregard the environmental cost of computing and human effort. This study proposes a four-layer hybrid intelligence framework (FLHIF) that unifies cloud model uncertainty quantification, social network analysis of data lineage graphs, DeepSeek-V4-driven multi-agent semantic reasoning, and adaptive weight learning via proximal policy optimization (PPO). On a benchmark of 439 data asset instances, FLHIF achieves an NDCG@10 of 0.9500, outperforming all baselines. Beyond ranking accuracy, expert evaluation yields an interpretability score of 4.2/5.0 (ICC > 0.80), indicating that FLHIF’s recommendations are auditable as well as accurate, a requirement of growing importance for AI adoption in regulated governance settings. Holdout stability tests, sensitivity analysis, and zero-shot generalization across finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and government sectors further demonstrate the framework’s robustness across the tested benchmarks. Preliminary simulations indicate that FLHIF can reduce redundant governance operations by 15–22% in a typical enterprise setting, corresponding to an estimated annual reduction of 120–180 kg CO2-equivalent emissions per medium-sized data platform. FLHIF thus offers a systematic, resource-efficient, explainable, and adaptive approach to sustainable data governance, directly supporting SDG 9.1, SDG 11.3, and SDG 12.2/12.5.
