SDG 09: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure
These are vital forces in the economic growth and development of any
country. The SDG promotes sustainable industries, investment in scientific
research and innovation which will lead to sustainable development. AI can
work as a catalyst in achieving this agenda.
SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities
This goal aims to ensure equal opportunities and end discrimination by
eliminating discriminatory laws, policies and practices. AI may help in
improving industrial growth thereby improving the global financial market
and institutions.
SDG 11: Sustainable Cities and Communities
This goal aims to provide safe and affordable housing facilities to all. It also
advocates green and culturally inspiring conditions for all. Technologies like
AI in smart cities help the cities to utilise current assets more effectively,
allot resources more efficiently and understand how data can be shared
and managed across the whole system.
SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production
This aims to use products and services in a manner that is socially beneficial,
economically feasible and environment friendly during their whole life cycle.
AI can help in eliminating waste, improving farming techniques and using
resources efficiently which in turn will improve responsible consumption
and production.
SDG 13: Climate Action
This goal aims to reduce global warming, address climate related hazards
in all countries implement national policies and build knowledge and
capacities to meet climate change. AI for climate action has the potential
to reduce global greenhouse gas emissions by up to 4 percent. By using AI
and data from NASA, researchers are able to identify patterns and monitor
changes in land surfaces such as decreasing sea areas, ice cap surfaces, etc.
This would help in determining future risks. AI can also be used to monitor
pollution.
