Today, we will be discussing how Artificial Intelligence can help address important global issues known as the Sustainable Development Goals or SDGs. Can anyone tell me what SDGs are?
Are they the 17 goals set by the UN to achieve a better world by 2030?
Exactly! The SDGs include goals like reducing poverty and ensuring clean water for all. Now, why do you think AI could be useful in achieving these goals?
AI can analyze large amounts of data quickly to help us understand problems better!
Great point! AI can indeed process data and provide insights that can help drive solutions to these complex issues. Remember, the acronym 'SIMPLE' can help us recall key aspects: 'S' for Sustainable, 'I' for Innovation, 'M' for Management, 'P' for Planning, 'L' for Leadership, and 'E' for Engagement.
Now that we understand the SDGs, let’s think about how we can identify a problem. We can use a tool called the 4Ws canvas. What does 'W' stand for in this context?
'W' stands for Who, What, Where, and Why, right?
Exactly! By answering these questions, you can clearly delineate the problem you want to address. Can someone give me an example of a problem they might choose?
Maybe we can tackle pollution in our city?
Pollution is a critical issue. So, if we look at the 4Ws, we’d determine who is affected, what the problem is, where it happens, and why it's a concern. This structured approach is vital for clarity!
After identifying your problem, the next step is to collect and visualize data. Who can tell me why collecting data is important for creating an AI solution?
Data helps us understand the scope of the issue better!
Correct! Visualization helps you recognize patterns or trends. And what tools do you think we can use for data collection?
We can use spreadsheets like Excel or Google Sheets!
Right! You will record your collected data and create graphs to visualize it. Remember the acronym 'DIVE': 'D' for Data, 'I' for Interpret, 'V' for Visualize, and 'E' for Educate. This will help you remember the steps involved!
Let’s talk about the AI-enabled solutions we could propose. What are some ideas you have in mind, considering the problems you've identified?
We could create an app that alerts users about air pollution levels!
Excellent idea! An app can help raise awareness. What data would it need to function effectively?
It would need data on air quality and pollution sources!
Exactly! Remember, the key in creating AI solutions is the ability to prototype and test them. Always strive for improvement through the iterative process.
Technological solutions powered by AI to solve real-world problems, especially in relation to SDGs.
A tool used for identifying and understanding a problem by exploring who is affected, what the issue is, where it takes place, and why it's a concern.
The process of gathering information to understand and analyze a problem effectively.
Creating graphical representations of data to identify trends and insights.
To find a goal, think of 'SDG', it's about the planet, can't you see?
Imagine a city where pollution is tracked by smart apps, and people stay informed—it's an AI dreamland!
Use 'DIVE' for Data - Interpret, Visualize, and Educate!
SIMPLE for problems: Sustainable, Innovation, Management, Planning, Leadership, Engagement.

A set of global goals established by the United Nations to address issues such as poverty, inequality, and climate change by 2030.
A structured tool that addresses Who, What, Where, and Why of a problem to facilitate understanding.
The graphical representation of information and data to help identify patterns, trends, and insights.
Technological solutions powered by Artificial Intelligence to address specific problems or inefficiencies.
An early sample or model of a product to test concepts and functionalities.
This section focuses on creating an AI-enabled solution to real-world problems related to Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Students will learn to develop an AI-based solution for pressing global issues by identifying a problem related to the SDGs and employing a structured approach to create a prototype. The steps include problem identification, data collection, and the use of AI technologies.
In this section, we delve into Step 5 of the project on AI-enabled solutions that align with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This step emphasizes a systematic approach to identifying a significant problem—such as pollution, water wastage, or energy consumption—and developing an AI-supported solution. Students will engage in creating a four-part 4Ws canvas to enhance their understanding of the problems faced, followed by creating a system map to outline the features related to their chosen problem. They will then collect and visualize data relevant to the problem using spreadsheet software, which culminates in developing AI-enabled solutions like mobile applications or smart systems to address the selected issue. This hands-on project is essential for making practical connections between classroom learning and the real world, encouraging creative problem-solving aligned with global sustainability initiatives.
