The impact of artificial intelligence and big data on sustainable development

Abstract EN

Egypt has adopted an approach towards achieving Sustainable Development (SD) that is characterized by a high level of ambition, firm commitment and dynamic innovation, and the core principle of the 2030 Agenda for (SD) is “universality” and “inclusivity".

To Achieve and Monitor Sustainable Development, it is necessary to use data for improving decision-making and policy, increased citizen empowerment and increased innovation and entrepreneurship.

On the other side, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is presently flourishing in our daily lives, and is starting to profoundly influence the fields of architecture and sustainability development.

Due to the significant increases in internet speed and accessibility and the drops in computer prices and data storage costs in recent years, Big Data (BD) nowadays assumes a significant supplementary role to AI.

The present paper starts with an introduction to AI history and techniques.

This is followed by a discussion on how AI and BD can be used to sustainable development as it presents the opportunities and disruptive potential challenges offered by rapid technological change regarding the achievement and monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) across the various economic, social and environmental dimensions
