A systematic literature review of the effect/contribution of artificial intelligence technology towards achieving the sustainable development goals.

The advent of Artificial Intelligence (AI) backed technologies has revolutionized every sphere of human activities today worldwide due to the diverse techno-economic benefits attached to AI technologies. From the perspectives of sustainability AI backed technologies in integration with allied internet-based technologies seem to transform conventional machines, processes, and systems of diverse industries to derive optimal techno-economic advantages. In regard to Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) of UN charter, AI backed technologies are playing a significant role in ensuring maximized performance efficiency, resource savings and are contributing towards environmental conservation worldwide. This study investigates contribution of AI technologies in attaining SDG goals as laid by the UN charter by examining diverse secondary studies relevant to the research theme across various industries and SDG themes. The outcomes of this study suggested that AI technologies are increasingly contributing towards SDG goals across various industries globally. It is anticipated that extensive industry-wide applications of AI backed technologies is bound to revolutionize every industry and deliver optimal techno-economic and socio-environmental advantage to all stakeholders globally.
