Description

The rise of artificial intelligence (AI) and its increasingly widespread influence across various sectors necessitates an evaluation of its impact on the attainment of Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Industrialized nations have reaped the benefits of 21st-century technologies, particularly automation, which has fundamentally transformed the manufacturing and industrial production processes. The next evolutionary phase in automation is the advent of AI, characterized by machines and systems demonstrating intelligence, not only capable of performing tasks but also collaborating synergistically with humans and the environment. Among its myriad contributions, AI is poised to enhance development, foster sustainable resource utilization, and facilitate effective waste management. Intelligent systems are set to reshape various domains, including transportation, precision agriculture, biodiversity conservation, environmental modeling, public health, construction, manufacturing, and initiatives aimed at fostering prosperity on Earth. These systems will possess the ability to perceive, analyze situations, and responsively react to real-time cues such as human gestures, facial expressions, and the movement of pedestrians crossing busy streets. This research delves into the intricate relationship between AI systems and the objectives of sustainable development (SD). 2025 by Apple Academic Press, Inc.
