Artificial intelligence can help organizations automate routine tasks, freeing up human resources to focus on more complex and strategic work. AI can assist in predicting outcomes and assessing risks related to poverty, inequality, and environmental sustainability, among others. This can help organizations increase their efficiency and productivity, ultimately helping them improve decision-making to achieve SDGs faster.
