The SDGs provide a comprehensive framework for governments, organizations, companies and individuals to work together towards a more equitable and sustainable future for all. The data-driven perspective of AI can significantly accelerate progress towards these goals by enabling new solutions, improving decision-making, and unlocking new insights. This IRCAI observatory addresses those SDG-focused challenges through AI, providing the user with a shareable landscape of the impact of AI in the progress of SDGs, and with AI-based tools that allow the user to explore large open datasets and find insight with own observations.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=&#8221;1&#8243;

The SDGs provide a comprehensive framework for governments, organizations, companies and individuals to work together towards a more equitable and sustainable future for all. The data-driven perspective of AI can significantly accelerate progress towards these goals by enabling new solutions, improving decision-making, and unlocking new insights. This IRCAI observatory addresses those SDG-focused challenges through AI, providing the user with a shareable landscape of the impact of AI in the progress of SDGs, and with AI-based tools that allow the user to explore large open datasets and find insight with own observations.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_toggle title=&#8221;News View&#8221; open_toggle_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; open_toggle_background_color=&#8221;#FFFFFF&#8221; closed_toggle_background_color=&#8221;rgba(0,0,0,0)&#8221; icon_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; open_icon_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;4.27.6&#8243; _module_preset=&#8221;0e3cc352-f7a5-4b66-a051-e6754cb627e7&#8243; title_text_color=&#8221;#000000&#8243; title_level=&#8221;h1&#8243; title_font=&#8221;Sora|600||on||||#FFC71A|&#8221; title_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; title_font_size=&#8221;16px&#8221; title_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; body_font=&#8221;|300|||||||&#8221; body_text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; body_font_size=&#8221;15px&#8221; body_line_height=&#8221;1.4em&#8221; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; title_font_size_tablet=&#8221;15px&#8221; title_font_size_phone=&#8221;14px&#8221; title_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; body_font_size_tablet=&#8221;14px&#8221; body_font_size_phone=&#8221;13px&#8221; body_font_size_last_edited=&#8221;on|phone&#8221; border_color_all=&#8221;#1F1F1F&#8221; locked=&#8221;off&#8221; global_colors_info=&#8221;{}&#8221; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p>The media room exhibits insight from world and local news, as well as from social media (Twitter) to monitor and better understand SDG-related events.
