# "RecommendationsThe current range of A/IS applications in sectors crucial to the SDGs, and to excluded populations everywhere, should be studied, with the strengths, weaknesses, and potential of the most significant recent applications analyzed, and the best ones developed at scale. Specific objectives to consider include:- Identifying and experimenting withA/IS technologies relevant to the SDGs,such as: big data for development relevant to, for example, agriculture and medical tele-diagnosis; geographic information systems needed in public service planning, disaster prevention, emergency planning, and disease monitoring; control systems used in, for example, naturalizing intelligent cities through energy and traffic control and management of urban agriculture; applications that promote human empathy focused on diminishing violence and exclusion and increasing well-being.- Promoting the potential role of A/IS in sustainable development by collaboration between national and international government agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) in technology sectors.- Analyzing the cost of and proposing strategies for publicly providing internet access forall, as a means of diminishing the gap inA/IS’ potential benefit to humanity, particularly between urban and rural populations in HIC and LMIC alike.- Investing in the documentation and dissemination of innovative applications ofA/IS that advance the resolution of identified societal issues and the SDGs.- Researching sustainable energy to power A/IS computational capacity.- Investing in the development of transparent monitoring frameworks to track the concrete results of donations by international organizations, corporations, independent agencies, and the State, to ensure efficiency and accountability in applied A/IS.- Developing national legal, policy, and fiscal measures to encourage competition in theA/IS domestic markets and the flourishingof scalable A/IS applications.- Integrating the SDGs into the core of private sector business strategies and adding SDG indicators to companies’ key performance indicators, going beyond corporate social responsibility (CSR).- Applying the well-being indicators10 to evaluate A/IS’ impact from multiple perspectives in HIC and LMIC alike.
