Abstract

The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) are 17 goals that all United Nations Members adopted in 20151. Sustainable Development can be defined as ‘development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs2. A tremendous responsibility lies on the shoulder of the present generation to keep planet earth a better place for our generations to come. With this in view, all UN member states adopted these sets of 17 goals in 2015. These goals range from No Poverty, Zero Hunger, and gender equality to partnerships to achieve these goals. Each SDG has been defined and given various targets to complete. All significant stakeholders strongly believe that achieving these goals will make the earth better for our future generations. The World has also been profoundly affected by the growth of various technological advancements like Artificial Intelligence, Quantum Computing, robotics, IoT, and Blockchain, to name a few. These technological disruptions have multiple effects on how the world is changing for tomorrow. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is the technology of providing intelligence to non-living objects or machines. Since 1950, after various A.I. winters, Artificial Intelligence technology has started delivering results in the last two decades. There has been tremendous growth in A.I., and nation-states compete to learn and earn the maximum dividend from this technology. There is a requirement to understand how this growth of technology may affect the achievement of the SDGs. This review paper looks into the role technology of Artificial Intelligence may play in achieving the SDGs from an Indian Perspective. The report will review the various available literature on the subject to understand the positive and negative effects of Artificial Intelligence on the path toward achieving the SDGs for India. The paper will review the available literature and recommend various future courses of research in this field.
