DAIDALOS – The Role of AI in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals
We invite you to the online discussion "The Role of AI in Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals" that will explore the topic of artificial intelligence and sustainability with renowned researcher Ricardo Vinuesa from KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm.
Event description
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) and its progressively wider impact on many sectors requires an assessment of its effect on the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals. Using a consensus-based expert elicitation process, we find that AI can enable the accomplishment of 134 targets across all the goals, but it may also inhibit 59 targets. However, current research foci overlook important aspects. The fast development of AI needs to be supported by the necessary regulatory insight and oversight for AI-based technologies to enable sustainable development. Failure to do so could result in gaps in transparency, safety, and ethical standards.
LECTURER
Ricardo Vinuesa (KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm)
Ricardo Vinuesa is a fluid dynamicist and machine learning researcher from Valencia (Spain). He is an Associate Professor at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm (Sweden), as well as a Researcher at KTH Climate Action Centre. He also serves as the vice director of the KTH Digitalization Platform. Vinuesa led an influential study on the impact of AI on the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) of the United Nations (UN) which serves as the basis for his talk within the DAIDALOS framework. In 2021, he received the ERC Consolidator Grant for the DEEPCONTROL project that aims to combine high fidelity simulations of turbulent wings with deep learning for flow control to improve airplane efficiency.
