BEIJING, May 26, 2023
/PRNewswire/ -- A news report from CRI Online:
The Advisory Committee of the International Center for
Creativity and Sustainable Development (ICCSD) under the auspices
of UNESCO convened on May 23 in a
hybrid format. Attendees came together to explore the profound
impact of artificial intelligence (AI) technology in advancing
sustainable development in the modern era.
Mehri Madarshahi, President of Global Culture Network (GCN) and
former Senior Economist at the United Nations Secretariat,
highlighted the urgency in achieving the UN Sustainable Development
Goals (SDGs) by 2030, noting that progress has been slow in the
medium term. Recognizing the potential of emerging technologies,
many have called for their integration to expedite the SDGs.
Madarshahi emphasized the recommendations put forth by the UN
High-Level Panel on Digital Cooperation, aimed at empowering
governments, businesses and individuals to make informed decisions
based on digital technologies. Reflecting the growing importance of
this topic, over the past few years, more than 320 international
conferences, seminars and official forums have been convened,
dedicated to exploring strategies for enhancing the role of
information technology in advancing the SDGs.
Zhao Haiying, Professor at the School of Artificial Intelligence
at Beijing University of Posts and
Telecommunications, delivered a presentation on harnessing the
power of AI to unlock the realms of cultural computing and cultural
heritage. By synergizing big data, AI, machine learning, and
cultural history, the intricate nuances of cultural connotations
could be explored, advancing the field of digital humanities
research.
Wu Zhiqiang, Professor and
Doctoral Supervisor at the School of Architecture and Urban
Planning, Tongji University, spoke on how AI technology can be used
to address critical challenges in China's urban planning and development process
and to enhance urban resilience.
