Machine and Deep Learning Solutions for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals

Achieving the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) requires innovative solutions that address global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and social inequality. Artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, and data-driven technologies offer transformative potential by optimizing resource management, improving healthcare outcomes, and enhancing decision-making processes. However, integrating AI into sustainable development efforts presents ethical, technical, and policy-related challenges that must be carefully navigated. A multidisciplinary approach is essential to ensure these technologies are applied inclusively and responsibly, maximizing their positive societal impact. Machine and Deep Learning Solutions for Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals enhances understanding and application of machine learning, deep learning, data mining and AI technologies in the context of the SDGs. It fills the gap by linking theory and practice and addresses both the opportunities and challenges inherent in this intersection. Covering topics such as demand side management, agricultural productivity, and smart manufacturing, this book is an excellent resource for engineers, computer scientists, practitioners, policymakers, professionals, researchers, scholars, academicians, and more.
