Artificial Intelligence and the Sustainable Development Goals – Addressing tensions and fos-tering synergies that decouple socio-economic from environmental goals in the North-South

This project involves an examination of the impact of AI on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It informs that organizations leading human-centric AI systems will effectively explore synergies and unleash virtuous cycles of SDGs and well-being when confronting and juxtapos-ing environmental, health, social, economic, and law-oriented goals. It also suggests that they will be more successful if they reinforce virtuous cycles by (i) focusing on SDGs 1 and 10 to achieve short-term peak performance and (ii) investing in SDGs 12 and 13 to enable long-term outcomes necessary to fuel systemic resilience and sustainable development.
