Applications of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning in Achieving SDG 6, 7, and 14

The advent of machine learning and its significant impact on every sector of society requires our attention towards its progressive application in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Machine learning is a kind of artificial intelligence allowing the machine itself to change its algorithms in order to provide the optimized solution to the subject. In other words, AI is a machine simulating human intelligence, and ML is a subset of artificial intelligence. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) are an all-inclusive set of objectives intended to provide countries with a trail towards peace and prosperity. There are 17 SDGs that are further divided into 169 targets and 304 indicators dealing with everything from ending hunger and protecting marine wildlife to making cities sustainable and reducing gender inequalities. ML is an important tool in meeting these objectives. This chapter explores the application of ML models in achieving these SDGs in an effective manner.
