Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming economies, public institutions, and societies, creating significant opportunities to accelerate the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). At the same time, rapid AI adoption raises challenges relating to data governance, privacy, accountability, digital inequality, cybersecurity, and human rights. This paper examines the governance of AI through a sustainable development perspective, focusing on how innovation and digital transformation can be aligned with inclusive, ethical, and responsible development. It analyses emerging regulatory and institutional approaches to AI governance and explores the need for transparent, human-centred frameworks that promote technological innovation while ensuring equity, accountability, and sustainable outcomes across diverse socio-economic contexts.

Join us to gain valuable insights into the Governing AI for Sustainable Development: Innovation, Digital Transformation and the SDGs, presented by an experienced academic with a global perspective.
