👀 this nuanced analysis of SDGs x AI from Mala Kumar. My take aways: 📲 What changes with low-code/no-code interfaces for creating neural nets? How can we get more people thinking beyond the consumer and considering B2B cases without a graphical user interface? 🔌 If a computer vision model uses so much energy that it tanks SDGs 17.1, 12, and 13 about sustainable energy consumption, is it reasonable to laud progress in one-narrowly defined area like SDG 3 (healthy lives)? 🧐 Improved healthcare diagnostics may lead to countries getting farther away from their SDGs if indicators appear to rise, and there are not policy, budgetary and personnel changes also in place.

New video alert! I speak about a few challenges and opportunities to use #AI technologies, like computer vision, neural networks, and LLMs, to advance the Sustainable Development Goals (#SDGs). In the video, I focus on the fundamental challenge of applying AI, which has mostly been developed for narrow use cases, when the scope of the SDGs are big societal questions.
