A new global assessment examines how AI diffusion relates to seven core United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), covering health, education, clean energy, industry and infrastructure, sustainable cities, responsible consumption and production, and climate action. It also explores the channels behind these relationships and projects future SDG pathways under different socioeconomic and AI development scenarios. The central message is that AI can strengthen efficiency-oriented development, yet it does not automatically deliver systemic climate governance or equitable transformation.
