This article presents a comprehensive analysis of artificial intelligence and its impact on various aspects of sustainable development. AI is actively utilized to enhance decision-making, automate processes, and optimize numerous fields of activity. However, its integration into critical domains such as sustainable development, public administration, and cultural innovation raises concerns regarding accessibility, inclusivity, and resource redistribution. The study examines key aspects of artificial intelligence, its classification—including narrow and general AI—and the technologies employed, such as machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. Special attention is given to AI’s relationship with sustainable development goals and its role in advancing innovative solutions in social and environmental spheres. The article also explores the ethical, social, and cultural consequences of AI implementation, emphasizing the necessity of developing responsible, transparent, and sustainable systems that align with international standards and ensure long-term societal well-being. This research may be of interest to a broad audience of specialists and researchers engaged in fields related to AI development, its applications, and its influence on societal processes.
