AI is promoting inclusivity, reducing inequalities, and enabling data-driven policies for equitable social and economic advancement. In this chart we observe the several aspects of coverage of social insurance programs (% of population).

This perspective offers a real-time view of the worldwide news on inequality-related topics, providing us with a media perspective on the progress at the different fronts of SDG 10.

A SDG Live Report is what it is all about! Here, you can have a real-time perspective of the state of the world in regard to AI and sustainability, tracking some of the main issues to address in the near future.

AI has significantly influenced the progress of Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG 10), which aims to reduce inequality within and among countries. Between 2015 and 2023, there have been 170,218 scientific publications examining the role of AI in addressing various forms of inequality. These studies highlight AI’s potential to identify and mitigate biases in decision-making processes, enhance access to education and healthcare, and support economic inclusion for marginalized communities. AI-driven analytics can uncover patterns of discrimination and provide insights to develop more equitable policies. Media exposure, with 18,009 news articles, reflects a growing public interest in the intersection of AI and social justice, emphasizing the need for ethical AI practices. The development of 808 AI policies targeting SDG 10 indicates a commitment from policymakers to leverage AI for promoting equality, focusing on ensuring that AI technologies are used to benefit all segments of society without exacerbating existing disparities.

Looking ahead, the next 5 to 10 years are poised to see significant advancements in the application of AI to reduce inequalities. AI will play a crucial role in enhancing the inclusivity of education and healthcare systems, providing personalized learning and health solutions that cater to the needs of disadvantaged groups. Efforts to address algorithmic biases will intensify, ensuring that AI systems are fair and transparent. Policymakers will likely introduce more regulations to promote the ethical use of AI, focusing on protecting vulnerable populations from potential harm. Additionally, AI can support economic empowerment by enabling access to financial services and employment opportunities for underrepresented communities. As collaboration between governments, tech companies, and civil society organizations strengthens, AI-driven initiatives will increasingly align with the goals of SDG 10, fostering a more equitable and inclusive global society.

Here is your window to the global efforts to reduce inequality through AI. This dashboard is configurable and can be integrated into other systems to bring actionable technology into the systems of research institutions, governments and enterprises that are willing to make a difference.

 

Avoiding data bias in AI systems is crucial to ensure fair, accurate, and equitable outcomes, preventing the reinforcement of existing inequalities and enabling more trustworthy and inclusive technologies. Here you will see a dashboard analysing the bias related to the data ingested in this observatory for SDG 10.
