We all know that healthy oceans support climate
14 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 boat’s movements with a specially designed form
of machine learning makes it possible to determine the area of illegal fishing or seafaring
vessels.
This SDG aims at protecting, restoring and promoting
15 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 at a global scale.
This SDG aims to guarantee justice and freedom
16 for all people by 2030. The target is to significantly
reduce all forms of violence with communities and
governments to end conflict and insecurity.
To be successful in achieving the goals as large as SDGs,
17 it is very much required to have partnerships between
the stakeholders like government, private sector and
civil society. The sharing has to be of knowledge,
expertise, technology and financial resources to support and achieve
the 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.
