Rebooting the world for a better future

Rebooting the world for a better future: Maximizing Artificial Intelligence and Innovations toward Achieving the Sustainable Development Goals* is both a vision and a guide to how technology can serve humanity's highest aspirations. It explores how AI, when aligned with ethical responsibility and inclusive values, can move beyond efficiency to become an instrument of justice, equity, and sustainability. From combating hunger and climate change to transforming education and governance, the book demonstrates how intelligent systems can unlock new pathways of progress, particularly in regions where challenges are greatest but opportunities to leapfrog are vast. More than a study of machines, it is a reflection on choices on how we can direct innovation not merely to accelerate growth, but to heal divides and build a fairer, greener, and more humane future together.
