OF SDG 5 GOALS
MADEBY SHIVIKA HOON ,IOTHTOPAZ
INTRODUCTION
*The "United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGsr• are a set of 17 global objectives designed to create
a better, more sustainable future for all by 2030.
•These goals address urgent global challenges such as
poverty, inequality, climate change, environmental
degradation, peace, and justice.
**'Artificial Intelligence (AD", with its ability to process SUSTAINABLE
Large volumes of data, make predictions, and automate DEVELOPMENT
complex tasks, plays a significant role in accelerating GOALS
progress towards these goals.
*In this presentation, we will explore *•howAl is
contributing to 5 key SDGs••through real-world
applications and success stories.
01.
GOODHEALTH - WELL
BEING
Good health and well being is the 3rdSdg
goal
GOODHEALTH AND WELL-BEING
How Al Helps in Healthcare
Early Disease Detection:-Al analyzes medical images (X-rays, MRIs) to detect diseases lik
cancer, tuberculosis, and pneumoniawith high accuracy.
PredictiveAnalytics:- Al models predict disease outbreaks (e.g.,COVID-19,malaria) using d
from weather, travel, and health records.
Telemedicine & Virtual Assistants:- Al chatbots and virtual doctors help provide 24/7 medic
advice, especially in remote or underserved regions.
Drug Discovery:- Al speeds up the process of identifyingpotential drug candidates and vac
development.
Real-life Example:
IBM Watson Health: Assists doctors by analyzing patient data and suggesting possible
diagnoses and treatments.
BlueDot Al; Predicted the COVID-19outbreak before WHO announcedit, using Al to track
infectious disease spread.
02.
GOODQUALITY
EDUCATION
Good quality education is the 4thsdg goal
GOODQUALITY EDUCATION
Al Contribution
Personalized Leaming: Al tailors leaming paths based on each student's pace and performance
Student Retention: Al can predict which students are at risk of dropping out by analyzing
attendance, grades, and behavior.
Real-Life Example: Squirrel Al (China)UsesAl to adapt contentand difficultyfor
each learner. Proven to improve student performanceby identifying knowledge
gaps and offering real-time feedback.
Application in Real Life
Khan Academy (CPT-powered Tutor): Offers Al-driven tutoring to guide students
through [Link]: UsesAl to personalizelanguage lessonsand
adjust difficulty based on learner progress.
03.
CLEAN WATER AND
SANITATION
Clean water and sanitation is the 6thsdg goal
CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION
Al Contribution
Real-Time Water Quality Monitoring: Al analyzes sensor and satellite data to detect
contamination or pollution.
Predictive Maintenance: M forecasts potential failures in water infrastructure (pipes,
pumps, treatment plants).
Real-Life Example: Uses Al and Internet of Things (101) technologies to monitor
environmental conditions, including water pollution.
Helps cities in China identify pollution sources and manage water quality more
effectively.
Application in Real Life
Al Drones: Used to scan water bodies for waste and chemical [Link] Sensors:
Deployed in cities (e.g., Cape Town, South Africa) to monitor water leaks and [Link] for
Agriculture: Systems like CropXuse Al to reduce over-irrigation and ensure sustainable
water use in farming.
04.
CLIMATE ACTION
Climate action is the 13thsdggoal
CLIMATE ACTION
Al Contribution
Smart Traffic Management: Al optimizes traffc now, reduces congestion, and lowers
emissions by analyzing real-time data from cameras and sensors.
Urban Planning: Al helps simulate and model urban environments, allowing city
planners to design more sustainable and livable cities.
Real-Life Example: Sidewalk Labs (Toronto)SidewaIkLabs is using Al and data-driven
technologies to create a smart city in Toronto, optimizing everything from energy usage to
public [Link] is employed to create adaptive infrastructure that reduces carbon
emissions, enhances urban mobility, and improves overall sustainability
Application in Real Life
Al in Traffic Management: Cities like Los Angeles use Al to adjust traffic signals in real-time,
reducing congestion and [Link] Smart Waste Bins: In Helsinki, waste bins equipped
with Al sensors notify waste collectors when they're full, optimizing collection routes and
reducing fuel usage.
05.
SUSTAINABLE CITIES AND
COMMUNITIES
Sustainable cities and communities is the
11thsd oat
CLIMATE ACTION
Al Contribution
Climate Modeling:Al helps improve climate models by processing vast amounts of data to
predict weather patterns and climate changes more accurately.
Disaster Prediction: Al analyzes weather and environmental data to forecast natural
disasters like hurricanes, floods, and wildfires.
Real-Life Example: Microsoft's Al for Earth Microsoft's Al for Earth initiative provides Al
tools and cloud computing resources to monitor climate change and improve
biodiversity.
Supports projects that use Al to optimize water use, reduce emissions, and monitor
agricultural sustainability.
Application in Real Life
Al for Wildfire Detection: Al models, using satellite data, can identify and predict wildfires
in real-time (e.g., Google's Al for wildfire detection).AI-Powered Climate Forecasting:
ClimateAIuses machine learning to help businesses understand and prepare for long-
term climate impacts, optimizing decision-making.
CONCLUSION
Key Points
Al is a Powerful Tool for SDGs : Al can drive significant progress towards achieving the Sustainable
Development Goals (SDGs) by improving efficiency, sustainability, and accessibility.
Real-World Impact : Examples like Al for Earth, Squirrel Al, and IBM Green Horizons show that Al is
already making a difference in areas like healthcare, education, water management, and climate action
Ethical and Collaborative Development : For Al to reach its full potential in achieving the SDGs, it must be
designed ethically, ensure privacy, and be accessibleto all—especially in developing nations
Future Possibilities : With continued innovation, Al has the potential to accelerate progress on the SDGs,
particularly in areas like clean energy, education, healthcare, and climate resilience.
