All Hands on Deck: AI and the Economics of Sustainable Development

The focus of the United Nations on Sustainable Development is unquestionable. It seeks to permeate the concept into every aspect of its projects and programmes all over the world. One of the most popular, yet simplest, definitions of Sustainable Development is "development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." This means thinking not just of ourselves and our consumption, but of the generations to come as well. Sustainable development also means equitable development.
