Artificial intelligence is revolutionizing society and has the potential to accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, although challenges may hinder these efforts. The development of a new Sustainable Development Goal focused on digital technologies is strongly supported, along with the establishment of standard AI guidelines and regulations with a focus on specific applications, to facilitate AI development and legal compliance.
Artificial intelligence is producing a revolution with increasing impacts on the people, planet, and prosperity. This perspective illustrates some of the AI applications that can accelerate the achievement of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and highlights some of the considerations that could hinder the efforts towards them. In this context, we strongly support the development of an 18(th)SDG on digital technologies. This emphasizes the importance of establishing standard AI guidelines and regulations for the beneficial applications of AI. Such regulations should focus on concrete applications of AI, rather than generally on AI technology, to facilitate both AI development and enforceability of legal implications.
