CHALLENGES BEFORE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

                  Some of the key challenges to sustainable development are given below:
                     There is instability and conflict between the nations.
                     There is lack of proper planning and implementation of programmes to fit the local level.
                     Non-profit organisations may lack skilled resources such as data scientists and NLP engines.

                     Human bias may be embedded in AI models or datasets.
                     Sensitive data needs to be protected from being made public.




                           SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS (SDGs)

                  In September 2015, 193 member countries of the General Assembly agreed to adopt the 2020

                  Agenda for Sustainable Development that contains a set of 17 global goals to end poverty, protect
                  the planet, and ensure peace and prosperity for the people around the globe. These 17 goals are
                  integrated in such a manner that action on one will have an impact on the other.

                  SDG 01: No Poverty

                  Eradicating extreme poverty and reducing poverty by at least by 50% is              NO
                  the target to achieve. Worldwide, approximately 17.2 percent people are             POVERTY
                  struggling to fulfill the most basic needs like health, education and access
                  to clean water and sanitation. AI can help in improving the farming land,
                  agriculture, quality of products, etc. AI can also help with aid distribution
                  in poor and war-torn areas, or where natural disasters have caused heavy
                  destruction.

                      ZERO                SDG 02: Zero Hunger
                      HUNGER              SDG 2 aims to end hunger issues by 2030 and ensure access to nutritious

                                          food  for all children. AI can help in reaching  out  the  goal  by  tracking
                                          food wastage, finding ways to grow yields, identifying diseases and pest
                                          outbreaks, analysing means to reduce population, etc.



                  SDG 03: Good Health and Wellbeing

                  This goal focuses on the well-being and good health for all. It aims to end          GOOD HEALTH
                  epidemics  like  Cholera, Tuberculosis,  Malaria and other communicable              AND WELL-BEING
                  diseases.  AI can help in achieving  this  goal  by  increasing  the  ability  of
                  healthcare  professionals  to  analyse  huge data sets,  providing  better
                  feedback  and finding  accurately  the  cause  of diseases  to  discover  the
                  cure. Wearable healthcare technology also uses AI to serve the patients
                  and healthcare workers.
