    SDG 14: Life Below Water

                                           We all know that healthy oceans support climate change mitigation and
                                           adaptation efforts. SDG targets to prevent and reduce marine pollution,
                                           protect  marine and coastal  ecosystems,  regulate  harvesting and end
                                           destructive fishing practices, etc. Our oceans are vast and cover more than
                                           70% of the earth’s surface.

                     This makes tracking and measuring life under water a massive task. Satellite imagery and analysis
                     of a boat’s movements with a specially designed form of machine learning makes it possible to
                     determine the area of illegal fishing or seafaring vessels.

                                         How do AI and data science support SDGs?

                     SDG 15: Life on Land
                     This aims  at protecting,  restoring  and  promoting  the  sustainable  use  of
                     terrestrial ecosystems, managing forests, fighting deforestation, reversing

                     land degradation and stopping biodiversity loss. In future, AI methods may
                     be used to create a digital dashboard for the planet, to help us monitor,
                     model, foresee and manage environmental systems on a global scale.

                                           SDG 16: Peace, Justice and Strong Institutions
                                           This  aims  to  guarantee  justice  and  freedom  for  all people  by  2030.  The
                                           target is to significantly reduce all forms of violence with communities and
                                           governments to end conflict and insecurity.

                     SDG 17: Partnership for the Goals
                     To be successful in achieving goals as large as SDGs, it is very much

                     required to have partnerships between the stakeholders like government,
                     the private sector and civil society. The sharing has to be of knowledge,
                     expertise, technology and financial resources to support and achieve
                     sustainable development goals in all the countries. AI can be a vital tool
                     for the global community to achieve the targets of the United Nations
                     Sustainable Development Goals. Asia and the Middle East have already
                     instigated to focus on AI as a part of their development strategy and
                     economic growth.

                                                                                   Introduction to SDGs and Data Science  117
