The United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda and
other movements toward setting global goals such as
the Paris Agreement and the European Green Deal/
U.S. Green New Deal are laying the groundwork
for a transformation beyond purely market-based
economics toward sustainability and inclusiveness
[1], in which technological innovation and, in particular, artificial intelligence (AI) can play a central
role. The European Union (EU) is committed to
the 2030 Agenda and the sustainable development
goals (SDGs), which the UN itself has recognized
cannot be achieved without a people-focused, science-based, digital revolution [2]. This commitment to the 2030 Agenda should entail promoting
an inclusive and sustainable AI strategy, rather than

a strategy with a narrow focus on competitiveness
[3], [4]. In order for AI to contribute to achieving the
SDGs, a systemic approach to the development of AI
solutions is required [5]-[9]. Conversely, the SDGs
provide an ideal framework to test the desirability of
AI solutions [10]. Europe's multicultural character
and its framework of international collaboration give
it a head start toward becoming a global reference
in the promotion of an inclusive and sustainable
AI. Sharing the experiences and practices of such a
European AI could make a significant contribution
to achieving the SDGs.
A business- and competition-oriented view of AI
is reductionist in human, social, and technological
terms, losing sight of the object of technology as a
tool to improve universal well-being, empowering
the populace and enabling them to live more creative and satisfying lives. The instrumentalization of
AI to optimize business objectives will likely lead
