The Role of AI in Addressing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): A Comprehensive Survey

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) emerges as a transformative tool in addressing global challenges, particularly in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This paper provides a comprehensive survey of how AI technologies contribute to addressing global challenges across social, economic, and environmental domains. By enabling advanced data analysis, predictive modeling, and automation, AI offers innovative solutions across sectors such as poverty reduction, healthcare, quality education, sustainable cities, climate action, and the protection of life on land and below water. Special attention is given to practical, real-world examples where AI enables more efficient resource management, predictive analytics, environmental monitoring, and data-driven decision-making. While AI presents significant opportunities for accelerating progress toward the SDGs, it also raises ethical, social, and environmental concerns that require careful governance. This paper also explores the opportunities, risks, ethical considerations, and underscoring the need for ensuring responsible and equitable access to AI solutions.
