Abstract

A review of artificial intelligence's (AI) impact on the realization of the sustainable development goals is necessary given its emergence and steadily expanding impact across many sectors. The authors discover that AI may facilitate the fulfillment of 134 targets for each of the goals using a consensus-based specialist elicitation process. It can also inhibit the achievement of 59 targets. However, current research priorities ignore crucial elements. In order to support AI's rapid development and promote sustainable development, regulatory oversight and knowledge are required. Inability to do so might lead to lapses in ethics, safety, and transparency. Generally speaking, there is no disputing that two significant developments are accelerating in the world we reside in: the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence and an increasing realization of the importance of sustainable practices.

2. Ai To Generate Sustainable Actions

The AI enhances reporting on the results of the new initiatives as well as sustainable business practices. It also makes it possible for smart networks to partially synchronize the energy consumption with times when the sun and wind are present, which can contribute to the advancement of renewable electricity. AI contribute the positive impact on environmental outcomes by analyzing large-scale, interrelated databases and creating coordinated actions for environmental preservation. Research from the past shows that advances in AI will contribute to our empathetic of climate change and the prediction of its possible effects. Artificial intelligence progressed slowly at first because of a lack of computer power and data volume. Throughout the past 200 years, a few technological breakthroughs have significantly improved the living conditions of people. But all previous industrial revolutions took money from the future to finance their own, resulting in economic growth. The technological revolution of today needs to reverse this trend and result in long-term economic growth. Businesses, governments, and individuals all have a shared responsibility to use strategic thinking to fully realize the immense potential that AI offers to advance both economic prosperity and a more sustainable future.

The use of AI technologies to quantify and report on the effects that modern corporate actions have on society and the environment is an essential beginning in this endeavour. To make sure that these reports are reliable, transparent, and easily accessible, AI can also assist with cross-checking and validation. The very initial step toward taking action is measurement. And because artificial intelligence is developing and becoming more widely used, the procedure has just gotten easier and more accessible.
