Towards Achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals: The Role of AI in Municipality Services
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
In 2015, the United Nations adopted the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure global peace and prosperity by 2030. However, progress has been hindered by challenges like the COVID-19 pandemic, climate change, funding shortages, political instability, and data limitations. Municipal services, crucial to achieving the SDGs, provide essential functions like waste management, healthcare, and public safety. Artificial Intelligence (AI) offers innovative solutions to enhance these services, improving urban sustainability and fostering public-private collaboration. This research examines AI's role in municipal services, analyzing its applications, benefits, challenges, and future potential through case studies and expert insights.
