The Potential of Artificial Intelligence for Achieving Healthy and Sustainable Societies

  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Ethics of Artificial Intelligence for the Sustainable Development Goals

Part of the book series: Philosophical Studies Series ((PSSP,volume 152))

Abstract

In this chapter we extend earlier work (Vinuesa et al., Nat Commun 11, 2020) on the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) to achieve the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) proposed by the United Nations (UN) for the 2030 Agenda. The present contribution focuses on three SDGs related to healthy and sustainable societies, i.e., SDG 3 (on good health), SDG 11 (on sustainable cities), and SDG 13 (on climate action). This chapter extends the previous study within those three goals and goes beyond the 2030 targets. These SDGs are selected because they are closely related to the coronavirus disease 19 (COVID-19) pandemic and also to crises like climate change, which constitute important challenges to our society.
