Artificial intelligence and sustainable development goals: Necessary cooperation

Abstract

Artificial intelligence is a disruptive technology that, although it seems new, has been developing for decades. Its definition is not unique or homogeneous yet, and the risks can already be perceived. Nevertheless, an area in which its potential can be seen, is in the implementation of the sustainable development goals (SDG), which represent a challenge for the current decade. In this article we analyze the interrelation, not exempt from ethical and legal questions, of artificial intelligence applied to the achievement of the SDG.
