What is Sense and Counter-Sense in Sustainable Development (SD) and Evolution

There are so many challenges and temptations these days, which makes it sometimes impossible for some people to make the right choices when it comes to working for doing good or for making profit. Hence, the idea of being on the right track – namely, on the right sense of the development and the evolution, while compared with the idea of stepping on the other side, on the bad track – namely, on the counter-sense of the development and the evolution, arises most naturally as a provocation for individuals, resourceful business owners, prominent country leaders, and renowned governmental officials. There are several questions that come to mind in these particular cases, such as: Can humanity be on the right sense on its development and evolution, if the actions taken are solely focused on making profit? Or, is mankind on the counter-sense when choosing to sacrifice people’s well-being and the health of the environment when willing to work for making profit rather than for doing good? In this day and age, the idea of being on the right side in terms of development and evolution should no longer be a mystery for no one, since the answer may be found in the way in which the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are acknowledged and applied in the day to day lives of individuals and businesses. So far, too much damage has been done to our Planet and too many human lives have been affected by irresponsible and irrational behavior, which requires immediate action from the synergies derived from the relationship that exists between the Environmental Social Governance (ESG) and Artificial Intelligence (AI).
