AI is at the forefront of critical discussion, sparking simultaneously excitement and concern with questions about ethical and societal impact. Concerns focus on whether these technologies are developing acceptably and sustainably. Should AI regulation limit the use of AI where it serves a good purpose, like sustainable development, or should the use of AI only be restricted when it has a negative impact? How can we best foster AI-driven solutions and AI-driven decision-making systems for sustainable development? How can we advance AI governance for sustainable development? This panel offers a critical discussion among relevant stakeholders.
