6. Clean Water and Sanitation aims to ensure the availability of water for
everyone and promote sustainable water management. AI supports this goal
by forecasting water demand, detecting contamination, and optimising how
water resources are allocated. These efforts help provide clean water access
while managing water use responsibly for the future.
Example: A farmer struggles with overwatering crops. AI tools monitor soil moisture and
weather to advise when to water, saving water and protecting plants.
7. Affordable and Clean Energy aims to ensure access to affordable, reliable,
sustainable, and modern energy. AI contributes by improving energy grid
efficiency, forecasting demand, and supporting renewable energy systems.
These efforts help deliver cleaner and more dependable energy to communities
while reducing environmental impact.
Example: A solar energy farm uses AI to forecast sunlight availability and
manage battery storage. This ensures that even during cloudy days or at night,
the community has access to clean and consistent energy.
8. Decent Work and Economic Growth aims to promote sustainable and
inclusive economic growth along with decent employment opportunities for
all. AI supports this goal by enhancing productivity, fostering entrepreneurship,
and improving economic forecasting. While AI automates some jobs, it also
creates new opportunities and helps economies grow responsibly.
Example: A young entrepreneur uses AI tools to study market trends and customer preferences.
This helps them start a successful business that creates new jobs for local people.
9. Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure aims to develop resilient
infrastructure and encourage sustainable industrialisation. AI supports this
goal by enhancing smart manufacturing processes, enabling continuous
infrastructure monitoring, and accelerating research and development. These
technologies help build stronger industries and infrastructure that are efficient,
sustainable, and adaptable to future challenges.
Example: A manufacturing plant implements AI-powered sensors to monitor
machinery health in real time. This early warning system reduces unexpected
breakdowns, increases efficiency, and lowers maintenance costs.
10. Reduced Inequalities aims to reduce inequality both within and among
countries. AI supports this goal by analysing data to identify inequality trends
and helping design inclusive policies. These efforts enable fairer access to
resources and opportunities for all people.
Example: An NGO monitors healthcare access with AI, making sure people in remote
villages receive the same care as those in cities.
