Title of Lecture:

The impact of AI on Sustainable Development Goal (SDG)

Abstract: United Nations Organization in the General Assembly has adopted Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) in 2015. There are 17 SDG Goals, which was built upon "leaving no one behind" principle. They were adopted for: Better Environment, Better Society, and Better Economy. The major challenges for the world are to provide clean water, clean air, natural resources, sustainable energy, and education. As we all know that there are so many problems we are facing with environments, problems with people like poverty and starvation. So far with the advancement of technological growth, we did not succeed with these problems yet. Let us now see whether Artificial Intelligence can help to solve such problems. The talk will bring the learning Outcomes as follows:
i) To identify and appreciate Generative Artificial Intelligence and describe its applications in daily life.
ii) To relate, apply and reflect on the Human-Machine Interactions.
iii) To identify and interact with the three domains of AI: Data, Computer Vision and Natural Language Processing.
iv) To undergo an assessment for analysing progress towards acquired Generative AI-Readiness skills.
v) To imagine, examine and reflect on the skills required for futuristic job opportunities.
vi) Social Legal & Ethical Implications of Generative Artificial Intelligence in their daily lives.
vii) To unleash their imagination towards smart homes and build an interactive story around it.
viii) To relate, apply and reflect on the Human-Machine Interactions
ix) To understand the impact of Generative Artificial Intelligence on Sustainable Development Goals to develop responsible citizenship
x) To do further study and develop awareness of Social & Ethical Implications of the future jobs of the future by robots.
xi) To imagine, examine and reflect on the skills required for the futuristic opportunities.
xii) To develop effective communication and collaborative work skills.
xiii) To understand and reflect on the ethical issues around AI.
xiv) To gain awareness around AI bias and AI access.
xv) To let the students analyse the advantages and disadvantages of Artificial Intelligence
