Tech for Tomorrow: How AI is Powering Sustainable Development

 In the competition to solve the planet's most crucial environmental and societal issues, a single technology emerged as both accelerator and guidepost: Artificial Intelligence (AI). What was a science fiction premise is now an agent of revolution reshaping our strategy for sustainable development — ranging from climate and clean energy to smart agriculture and circular economies.         AI Meets the Sustainable Development Goals ( SDGs) The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations offer a worldwide framework to address poverty, inequality, environmental degradation, and others by 2030. AI has become an essential tool in speeding up progress towards these goals. Let's see how: 1. Climate Change Mitigation AI is being used to process climate data, simulate emissions scenarios, and optimize energy systems. Google DeepMind's AI recently optimized the energy efficiency of data centers by 30%, demonstrating the huge potential optimization algori...
