Can smart technology be our path to a sustainable future?

Some call it a boon, others a bane; we call it a necessity. With the world pushed into a crisis because of human activity, it might now take innovative technological solutions to expedite the recovery. Smart tech like AI comes with the benefits of self-monitoring, analysis and reporting capabilities. It has already made waves in the health and fitness sectors. Wearable devices, like smartwatches and pedometers, have robust tracking and alert features, which are useful for timely interventions. Besides this, the International Telecommunications Unit has shown that smart tech also has the potential to grow in the fields of public welfare, the energy sector, education, infrastructure and more. In the true spirit of the digital age, the possibilities are endless! To meet the UN’s 2030 goals for sustainable development, this may be our best bet.
