ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE IN SUSTAINABLE URBAN DEVELOPMENT: EVALUATING CONTRIBUTIONS TO SDG-11

Abstract

The growing application of Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing a crucial role in advancing Sustainable Development Goal 11 (SDG-11): Sustainable Cities and Communities. This paper examines the impact of AI on SDG-11, with a focus on its environmental, economic, and societal effects. A review of existing literature suggests that AI has contributed significantly to sustainable progress, but this paper critically analyzes its true implications for people's lifestyles. The discussion highlights both the positive and negative aspects of AI utilization in the context of sustainability. Furthermore, it emphasizes the need for ongoing research to explore the exact applications of AI in achieving SDG-11. The conclusion stresses the importance of effective monitoring and regulation of AI systems to ensure their alignment with sustainability goals. To achieve SDG-11 successfully, future generations must continue to develop AI models and conduct in-depth research to drive further technological advancements, ultimately contributing to a brighter and more sustainable future.
