L’Intelligenza Artificiale (AI) ha il potenziale per trasformare la società e far progredire lo sviluppo sostenibile per tutti
07 Febbraio 2025
Recent research shows that digital technology, including AI, can directly benefit 70 percent of the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite this immense potential, Artificial Intelligence development today is unequal, and its trajectory will widen these disparities unless we take collective action.
We face an Artificial Intelligence equity gap, which presents significant challenges.
Only 2% of the world’s data centres are in Africa, and only 5 percent of AI innovators in Africa have the compute power they require.
Worldwide, one in every 3 people don’t have internet access.
In 2023, the AI sector in the US received US$67.2 billion in investments in Artificial Intelligence, compared to just $15 million in Kenya and $2.9 million in Nigeria.
If everyone is to participate in and benefit from the Artificial Intelligence revolution, 2025 is a critical year. What we build must stand on a foundation of equity and sustainability.
The countdown to 2030
With just five years to go until the 2030 Agenda deadline, UNDP is spearheading a global collaboration for inclusive, sustainable digital transformation, which recognizes Artificial Intelligence as a cornerstone technology.
Several high-level meetings will shape the global Artificial Intelligence agenda, starting in Paris, where the Artificial Intelligence Action Summit takes place in mid-February. It aims to explore ways that AI can meet pressing development challenges, including better health, a more stable climate, gender equality, and sustainable infrastructure.
In April, Rwanda will host the inaugural Global AI Summit on Africa, which will focus on how AI can create and harness inclusive economic opportunities.
In June, the Hamburg Sustainability Conference will work towards a Declaration on Responsible AI for the Sustainable Development Goals.
In July, the AI for Good Global Summit, the UN system’s leading Artificial Intelligence event that takes place annually in Geneva, will connect AI innovators with public and private sector leaders to scale impactful AI solutions globally.
