What are the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)? How does AI affect the SDGs?\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eArtificial Intelligence has a real impact on our lives and on our environment, and the Sustainable Development Goals enable us to evaluate these impacts in a systematic manner. This book shows that doing so requires us to understand the context of AI - the infrastructure it is built on, who develops it, who owns it, who has access to it, who uses it, and what it is used for - rather than relying on an isolationist theory of technology. By doing so, we can analyze not only the direct effects of AI on sustainability, but also the indirect - or second-order - effects. \u003cb\u003e\u003ci\u003eAI for the Sustainable Development Goals\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e shows how AI potentially affects all SDGs - both positively and negatively.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHenrik Skaug Sætra is a political scientist working in the Faculty of Business, Languages and Social Science at Østfold University College.
