| contents | Advances in Artificial Intelligence (AI) are helping tackle a growing number of societal challenges, demonstrating technology's increasing capability to address complex issues, including those outlined in the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Despite global efforts, 80 percent of SDG targets have deviated, stalled, or regressed, and only 15 percent are on track as of 2023, illustrating the urgency of accelerating efforts to meet the goals by 2030. We draw on Google's internal and collaborative research, technical work, and social impact initiatives to show AI's potential to accelerate action on the SDGs and make substantive progress to help address humanity's most pressing challenges. The paper highlights AI capabilities (including computer vision, generative AI, natural language processing, and multimodal AI) and showcases how AI is altering how we approach problem-solving across all 17 SDGs through use cases, with a spotlight on AI-powered innovation in health, education, and climate. We then offer insights on AI development and deployment to drive bold and responsible innovation, enhance impact, close the accessibility gap, and ensure that everyone, everywhere, can benefit from AI. |
