AI for the Sustainable Development Goals

Artificial Intelligence has a real impact on our lives and on our environment, and the Sustainable Development Goals enable us to evaluate these impacts in a systematic manner. AI for the Sustainable Development Goals shows how AI potentially affects all SDGs. Positively, but also negatively. "What is artificial intelligence? What are the Sustainable Development Goals? How does AI affect the SDGs? Artificial Intelligence has a real impact on our lives and on our environment, and the Sustainable Development Goals enable us to evaluate these impacts in a systematic manner. This book shows that doing so requires us to understand the context of AI - the infrastructure it is built on, who develops it, who owns it, who has access to it, who uses it, and what it is used for - rather than relying on an isolationist theory of technology. By doing so we can analyze the direct effects of AI on sustainability, but also the indirect - or second order - effects. AI for the Sustainable Development Goals shows how AI potentially affects all SDGs. Positively,but also negatively"--
