AI for Good: Artificial Intelligence in the Service of Sustainable Development

/in , , , , /by

AI for Good is more than a platform—it is a bridge between technological innovation and global well-being.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is already a key tool in tackling some of the most urgent challenges of our time. From climate change to digital equity, this United Nations initiative is leading the way to ensure that AI is not only innovative, but also inclusive and responsible.

Through its commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), AI for Good connects global leaders, innovators, and decision-makers, transforming the potential of AI into concrete solutions that serve both people and the planet.


What is AI for Good and Why Does It Matter?

With just five years remaining to reach the SDGs, AI for Good acts as a bridge between innovators and key sectors. Its mission is clear: to use AI in a trustworthy way to address global challenges such as climate change, health, education, and digital equity.

As Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Secretary-General of the ITU, stated:

“In 2024, one-third of humanity remains offline—excluded from the AI revolution. This digital and technological divide is no longer acceptable.”


AI for Good Global Summit 2024


The latest edition, held in Geneva, was a vibrant stage for innovation and reflection. From robots interacting with attendees to panels on inclusive governance, the summit showcased how AI can be a powerful force for good.

Among the standout highlights:

  • Bioniks, a Pakistani startup creating affordable, brain-controlled bionic prosthetics.
  • Ultrasound AI, a women-led project in the U.S. aiming to improve prenatal care through advanced analytics.
  • Anti-disinformation technologies, used by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to detect suspicious content during electoral processes.


In addition to the innovations presented, the summit emphasized the urgent need for ethical governance to ensure that these technologies benefit everyone in an inclusive and equitable way.

The summit didn’t just present ideas—it showcased real-world solutions with practical applications:

  • Bio-inspired drones for disaster rescue operations.
  • Brain-computer interfaces, enabling people with disabilities to control devices with their minds.
  • Social robots, like Leka, designed to support children with neurodevelopmental disorders.

The success of these initiatives serves as an inspiration to continue the conversation and drive innovation in future editions of the summit.


Upcoming Global Summit: AI for Good 2025

With a strong focus on global collaboration, the next edition of AI for Good will take place from July 8 to 11, 2025, in Geneva. The event promises to remain a hub for inclusive innovation, fostering international standards and technological solutions aligned with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).


How Does Human AI Fit Into This Global Vision?


Human AI: Artificial Intelligence for Good

At Human AI, we share AI for Good’s vision of putting artificial intelligence at the service of people and sustainable development. We believe in technology that not only measures skills and competencies but also enhances human well-being, inclusion, and educational progress.


Our Commitment to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs):

  • SDG 4: Quality Education – We promote the assessment and development of socio-emotional competencies to improve learning and training processes.
  • SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth – We help companies and organizations identify and develop human talent in a fair, objective, and inclusive way.
  • SDG 10: Reduced Inequalities – Our technology is designed to eliminate bias and promote equitable opportunities in both education and employment.
  • SDG 17: Partnerships for the Goals – We collaborate with academic institutions, businesses, and governments to scale solutions that create a positive impact on people and society.

At Human AI, our mission is clear: to humanize technology and ensure its use is ethical, inclusive, and focused on empowering human potential. Because we believe that AI is not an end in itself—it is a tool in the service of human development.

As Doreen Bogdan-Martin, Secretary-General of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), reminded us:

“The future doesn’t begin with algorithms, but with us. In our brain—the most complex, powerful, and creative computer the world has ever known.”

Are we ready to lead this transformation and take responsibility as the generation of AI for Good?

Mila – Quebec Artificial Intelligence Institute and HumanAI Tech join forces for an ethically responsible AI.

Our CEO Maria Beunza, during her stay in Canada, met with Professor of Philosophy and CIFAR Chair in AI Ethics, Marc-Antoine Dilhac; initiating a collaboration in research, development and ethics with one of the world’s largest Artificial Intelligence research centers.

This collaboration between HumanAI and Mila is an important step towards a more ethical and responsible future in the application of AI in the fields of education and mental health. It represents our adherence to the “Montreal Declaration for the responsible development of Artificial Intelligence“.

We continue to move forward for a more ethical and humane AI!

“Oh the AI!”

Creativity versus AI, the impact of AI in professions and trades, the use of GPT chat in the classroom, AI-based avatars as a teaching tool and ethics and values in the use of AI were some of the issues addressed by the various speakers at the conference for teachers “Oh the AI” organized by the Navarre Employment Service at the Civican in Pamplona; moderated by Rubén León, a journalist from Spanish Television.

“Education has to change, it can no longer be focused on the industrial model and must open doors to a digital world” said teacher Rubén Jiménez, in the block on creativity and AI.

Carlos Fernández de Vigo – film director, screenwriter and video game creator – spoke about the AI revolution in our lives as a historic opportunity. From Emotional Films – a new interactive audiovisual format that aims to offer audiences an experience that adapts in real time to their emotions and other key audience data – they have carried out projects with AI, among others, with the Cervantes Institute. “Movies are not the same depending on who is watching them and at what time they are watching them, they evolve with the viewer.”

Their vision of technology is philosophical and includes many sociological, pedagogical, psychological, neuromarketing, lawyer and engineer profiles. “We are people who want our creations to live on. We have made short films with people who were recycled from other sectors and thanks to technology they did the reskilling”.

Francesc Pujol – writer and teacher at the University of Navarra – with his vision of active network explorer started using ChatGPT because he imagined a radical impact on the learning process, both his own and regulated. He has learned to integrate it from practice and testing, without waiting to be told about it and advocating that all student work should be delivered together with the methodology used to carry it out, the screenshots of the questions to ChatGPT, assuming that from now on it will be an inevitable and indeed recommended use.

“You don’t have to wait to be an expert to use ChatGPT, no high training is necessary and it has a lot of self-learning. We have to give ourselves the right to explore and make mistakes in the use of AI” says Francesc. “ChatGPT should be used to ask about things we know, this seems counter-intuitive but it involves improving the things you already do.” Conclusion, let ChatGPT work for you and not instead of you, let it be an assistant and not an agent.

Finally, Elena Alemán is president of LucIA foundation, an initiative that aims to achieve a degree of knowledge, development and implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) ecosystems equivalent to those achieved in recent decades in the field of renewable energies. For his part, he presented the topic “Ethics and values in AI”.

Good uses? AI is making our lives easier, to help us with more global issues: health, environment, research thanks to a lot of rapidly processed data. Dark” uses? Since AI decides and generates content, it is important to know with what values and criteria it has been trained and the ownership of the data.

“Technology is ahead of legislation, in Europe a regulation is going to be generated in the first quarter of the year 24. What can we do? Training, communication and AI to combat AI.”
