Achieve Sustainable Development Goals using Artificial Intelligence

            As you read earlier, the new digital technology named artificial
            intelligence is shaping an increasing range of sectors like banking,
            manufacturing, automobiles etc. In this section, we will explore
            how AI technology can be used to achieve the 17 goals of SDGs.
            One of the most powerful applications  of AI  is  the  travel and
            transportation industries where AI is steadily becoming one of the
            key tools for service providers as well as users. Here, AI technology
            is used to suggest efficient routes  to home,  or making travel
            arrangements on the user’s demand
            Now-a-days, all the travel companies are specifically capitalising
            the ubiquitous  usage  of smart  devices. A  rapid  change  in  the
            travel industry brought by the Chatbots that facilitated human-like
            interaction  with  consumers for travel recommendations,  better
            booking prices, and faster response times.
              1.  No  Poverty: Ensuring  Economic  Well-being  with  AI:                      AI fueled by
                  AI  can contribute  to reducing  poverty  by  creating job                  universally
                  opportunities  and  supporting  economic  growth.  For                     accessible and
                                                                                              reliable data
                                                                                                          Strengthen (science-

                  living standards.                                           since the COVID-19              transfer

              2.  Zero Hunger: AI in Agriculture: AI can enhance agricultural
                  practices, leading  to  increased food  production  and
                  better distribution.  Smart farming techniques,  such as
                  using  AI-powered drones to monitor crops,  can help
                  farmers maximize yields and ensure a stable food supply.
              3.  Good  Health  and  Well-being:  AI  in  Healthcare: AI
                  can improve healthcare by assisting  in  diagnostics,
                  personalised  treatment plans,  and  drug discovery.             Alternative standard  Adapted and
                  Medical chatbots and virtual health assistants powered            for facilating the   coordinated action

                  maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
              4.  Quality Education: AI in Learning: AI can revolutionise education through personalised learning platforms
                  and  intelligent tutoring  systems. It can  adapt to individual  learning  styles,  making education  more
                  accessible and effective for every student.
              5.  Gender Equality: AI for Fair Opportunities: AI can help eliminate gender bias by promoting fairness in
                  decision-making processes. For example, using AI algorithms in recruitment can reduce unconscious bias
                  and ensure equal opportunities for all, regardless of gender.
              6.  Clean Water and Sanitation: AI for Environmental Monitoring: AI can be used to monitor water quality
                  and predict water usage patterns, helping to ensure access to clean water. Additionally, smart sanitation
                  systems can be implemented using AI to manage waste efficiently and promote hygiene.
              7.  Affordable and Clean Energy: AI for Sustainable Power: AI can optimize energy consumption, making it
                  more affordable and environmentally friendly. Smart grids, powered by AI, can balance energy supply and
                  demand, leading to more efficient use of renewable energy sources.
