A Framework to analyze the Impacts of AI with the Sustainable Development Goals

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we live and work and increasingly replace cognitively human ways of making decisions. The so called “algorithmocracy” or the ecosystem that we all now inhabit, where algorithms govern many aspects of our behavior, has the potential to bias and be deployed at large scales. Because the automation of decisions by algorithms promise efficiency and resource maximization, AI technologies can be used to meet the 17 Sustainable Development Goals and its 169 targets. This article aims to analyze the impacts of AI in SDGs. It draws a few fundamental inductions for ESG (climate, social, governance) amidst fast innovative and social change. This study consolidates the viewpoints of ecological, social and public strategy to dissect the effects of AI on sustainable development with a particular spotlight on the progression of the SDGs (sustainable development goals). It draws a few experiences on administrative learning and authority development for worldwide sustainability.
