Bridging the Digital Divide for Sustainable Development in the AI Era, (Paperback)

Artificial intelligence (AI) and digital transformation are rapidly reshaping societies, economies, and everyday life across the globe. While these technologies create new opportunities for innovation and productivity, they also raise important questions about fairness, accessibility, and ethical responsibility. As AI continues to advance, many communities still face unequal access to digital infrastructure, technological resources, and educational opportunities. Without inclusive strategies and thoughtful governance, these gaps risk becoming even wider, deepening existing social and economic inequalities. As a result, growing attention is being placed on how AI and digital transformation can be developed in ways that are more equitable, accessible, and socially responsible. Bridging the Digital Divide for Sustainable Development in the AI Era explores how AI can be effectively harnessed to build inclusive, ethical, and sustainable digital ecosystems. This book brings together multidisciplinary perspectives that examine theoretical frameworks, emerging technologies, policy instruments, and practical case studies that promote digital inclusion, capacity-building, good governance, and sustainable innovation in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Covering topics such as digital economic empowerment, policy harmonization, and education ecosystems, this book is an excellent academic resource for graduate and doctoral students, technology professionals, AI developers, development specialists, NGOs, advocacy groups, policymakers, and more.
