Episode 1: The SDGs and AI

UCL Minds

Professor Monica Lakhanpaul and Professor Priti Parikh are joined by Dr Maria Perez Ortiz, from the UCL Department of Computer Science, and Professor Jack Stilgoe, from the UCL Department of Science and Technology Studies.  They’re taking a look at the role of technology and artificial intelligence, or AI, in supporting the implementation of the goals. AI is a rapidly evolving field, but what is its role in sustainable development? How can it enable progress to a fairer world – or will it prove more of a hindrance? What are the practical and ethical issues that researchers and policy makers need to take into account?
