An Assessment of the Role of Artificial Intelligence on Sustainable Development Goals

Association of Artificial Intelligence (AI) with the Sustainable Development will make India a better tomorrow and help industries of almost every sector to construct a better planet. Much attention is currently required for the steadily emerging concept of Artificial Intelligence and its wide impact upon different sectors of the society. Also, need for evaluation of its impact upon sustainable development is the need of the hour because they are both positive and negative impacts. The categorization of all the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) was on the line of economic, social and environmental goals by United States in 2015. SDGs provide for the innovative and practical blueprint for understanding the positive and negative effects of AI. In the medium and long term, AI is projected to have an impact on global productivity, equality and inclusion, environmental outcomes, and a variety of other areas. AI’s reported potential consequences on sustainable development are both positive and negative. They’re also having an impact on global sustainability trends. As the AI revolution affects our world, it may announce a utopian future in which humans and machines coexist peacefully, or it may herald a nightmarish future filled with conflict, poverty, and pain. More immediately, would AI help us achieve the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) or push us further down the road to more economic Uncertainty, environmental collapse, and societal upheaval turning out as the possible outcomes which is to be addressed as the need of the hour. The purpose of this article is also to answer these issues by examining the effects of AI-SDGs relationship and to look into the conceptual framework presented here which aids in the investigation as to which SDGs AI may be useful in attaining and which goals may be compromised as a result of increased AI use.
