Abstract

This research paper explores the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology and sustainable development in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper emphasizes the potential of AI to facilitate informed decision-making and rational guidelines for sustainable development. The paper delineates three main objectives: firstly, elucidating how AI can enhance sustainable development efforts and tackle significant global challenges; secondly, delineating the alignment between AI capabilities and the UN-declared SDGs; thirdly, assessing key AI-Driven technologies pivotal for achieving sustainable development objectives. Additionally, the study scrutinizes potential threats and challenges that AI implementation may pose to sustainable development.
