Science Summit at United Nations General Assembly (UNGA78)

Session Abstract

Artificial Intelligence AI plays a significant role in a variety of industries by automating tasks, enhancing efficiency, and facilitating data-driven insights. There is more to AI than just automating tasks. In essence, it involves optimizing the capabilities of humans and building smart systems that are capable of learning, adapting, and growing. In this part of the session, we will discuss the newest artificial intelligence findings, including how artificial intelligence contributes to sustainable development goals (SDGs), such as climate action, industrial innovation and infrastructure, clean water, high-quality education, and good health.

To achieve sustainable communities and cities, artificial intelligence can be used to optimize urban planning, reduce waste, and improve public transportation systems. By utilizing artificial intelligence, we can predict weather patterns and optimize energy consumption. The use of artificial intelligence drives industrial innovation and infrastructure development. As we focus on water quality monitoring and management, AI contributes significantly to the protection of clean water. Artificial intelligence can enhance learning experiences in education, and it can facilitate the early detection of diseases and the individualization of treatment in healthcare.

It is often said that data is the oil, and data science is the machinery that allows it to be transformed into meaningful insights. In this segment, we will discuss how data analytics, machine learning, and predictive analysis are used in decision-making, including their contribution to the Sustainable Development Goals. Data science contributes to the improvement of health through the detection of early diseases and the optimization of patient care. Monitoring and ensuring the quality of water can be achieved by using data analytics. By offering personalized learning experiences, data science also plays a vital role in enhancing education.
During this session, we will demonstrate real-world examples of how AI and data science impact various fields, including their impact on the Sustainable Development Goals. Professionals, scholars, students, and anyone interested in the transformative power of these technologies are invited to participate in this session. No matter if you are an experienced specialist or just getting started, this session will provide valuable insights and inspire new ideas. A focus will be placed on the latest research and innovations in these areas. We will examine how they are reshaping fields such as healthcare, finance, and transportation, as well as contributing to sustainable development.

There is no doubt that the convergence of artificial intelligence and data science is not just a passing phenomenon; it is a wave that is shaping our future, including our approach to sustainability. We will conclude the session by discussing the need for joint efforts between research, education, and industry to realize their full potential. The SDGs will thus be able to be achieved. Participants will bring to the table a wealth of knowledge about the current landscape and the exciting prospects that lie ahead, especially in the context of sustainable development.
