What is the role of artificial intelligence in serving sustainability and promoting gender equality

 

Artificial intelligence has become a new language and one of the most important aspects of the modern era. Machine learning has revolutionized economic, social and political systems around the world. For example, the rapid spread of social media and social influencers has transformed the concept of public opinion into the most prominent social and political force in the world. Artificial intelligence and algorithms are at the heart of this movement, as the cornerstones of social media. It would be wise to use the phrase "power for the people" as a slogan for today's technology.

Technology has made our lives better, and led to stronger, easier, and faster possibilities for people to communicate. Technology has enhanced avenues for knowledge sharing and allowed greater access to almost everything. Most importantly, we are seeing a positive correlation between technology and the public interest.

Technology has positively affected human life since the dawn of civilizations by solving our daily problems and facilitating our lives and livelihoods. As we continue to confront some of the most pressing political, social, and environmental challenges, humanity will increasingly rely on technology as a growing force for the public good.

It is up to us to use AI and machine learning ethically and effectively, especially in a chaotic world, where various technological applications can play a very useful role in enhancing emergency response, fostering social activism, and helping humanity defend environmental justice. Many scientists today rely on artificial intelligence and machine learning in their efforts to create a carbon-neutral future.

AI also helps investors and risk managers analyze data on environmental, social and governance factors, in order to make better and more responsible investment decisions.

In some cultures, technology is being used to offer alternative methods of burial, with "green funerals" replacing cremation, which is an emission-heavy process for the environment, as it releases 400 kilograms of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.

Leveraging Artificial Intelligence to Support Healthy Aging

Technology has enhanced our quality of life, especially among the elderly. It gave them faster ways to connect and stay in touch with loved ones, which is important for promoting mental health and social bonding. Technology also gives us the opportunity to live longer and healthier. The healthy aging sector, which includes deep technology and software aimed at improving health and extending life, is expected to become one of the largest and most advanced sectors of all time. The sector is also expected to achieve a compound annual growth rate of 3% to reach $23 billion in the UAE by 2026.

Brain-reading robots based on machine learning algorithms are also becoming a reality. A wired robot arm between the brain and a computer allows patients to use their hands to interact with their surroundings. And prosthetic eyes for the visually impaired are no longer science fiction. More of these tech solutions can help us live healthier and more comfortable for longer.

Space technology for terrestrial purposes

The UAE is working hard to secure a front row seat in the global space race. The nation has consolidated its strategic assets and position within the space sector, including its achievements in space exploration and space technologies, and secondary applications of this technology here on planet Earth. Space technology companies will play an increasingly important role in contributing to the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals, enhancing connectivity and security, and driving meaningful business.

Building resilience and enabling continuity

For companies and employees, technology is essential to keep operations running and make profits, especially during disruptions or crises, whether in remote or hybrid business environments. These dynamics greatly influence the interactions between brands and consumers. As we have seen in the wake of the Corona crisis, technology has managed to help us become more resilient. As a result, most companies have been able to successfully focus on their operations and offerings, and many digital startups have emerged. Remote work and learning have become commonplace. All of these changes highlight the impact of technology on the business world and on a personal level.

The role of technology in achieving gender equality

Today we are witnessing gender bias across a wide range of sectors, not least health tech and feminine tech. For example, one of the main challenges facing female tech companies is the lack of market research and data, which prevents most of these institutions from obtaining venture capital. To bridge the gender gap in fundraising, deep technology-enabled market analytics are used to provide data and mind maps that female tech founders and investors can use to make more informed decisions. By providing a technology-enabled knowledge platform, some common mistakes that female tech founders make while promoting their startups are addressed, offering ways in which they can adjust their offerings while staying true to their vision.

Through the use of deep technology and the data generated by it, women are ensured equal access to funding compared to men.
