Beyond its initial use as a straightforward tool, technology has evolved into a dynamic, allpervasive force influencing practically every aspect of human life. Every element of society is already heavily reliant on technology. The introduction of cutting- edge technologies like Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things, the proliferation of social media platforms, and the use of smartphones are all indicators of a rapidly evolving technological landscape, which redefine the meaning and implications of human existence. Despite its ability to empower the society, it poses some challenges such as threat to privacy, misinformation, polarization, and several unintended repercussions. In light of the above perspective, this chapter explores the role of technology in social empowerment and enhancing the future of society as envisioned by the United Nations 2030 agenda. 2026 by IGI Global Scientific Publishing.
