ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT: THE ROLE OF MATHEMATICS
Keywords:
Artificial Intelligence, Sustainable Development, Mathematics in AI, Linear Algebra, Calculus, Probability and Statistics,,Abstract
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is increasingly recognized as a powerful technology for achieving
the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). However, AI systems are
fundamentally built upon mathematical principles such as optimization, probability theory,
linear algebra, and information theory. These mathematical foundations enable AI systems to
analyze complex datasets, identify patterns, and support data-driven decision-making in
sustainability-related challenges. This paper explores the critical role of mathematics in the
development of AI systems for sustainable development. It highlights key mathematical
disciplines that enable impactful AI applications and discusses research opportunities and
challenges in integrating mathematics, artificial intelligence, and sustainability science.
