As we continue to celebrate the impact of AI and the future of businesses across the globe , we also recognise the importance of the social impact it has as we build back from the pandemic
We often talk about how we can implement AI to save costs , improve employee experience and streamline operations in business – all of which are great things – but we cannot ignore one of the key powers of this technology : the ability to help build a healthy and sustainable future .
Research by PwC models the economic impact of AI ’ s application in managing the environment , leading to estimates suggesting that using AI for environmental applications could contribute up to US $ 5.2tn to the global economy in 2030 .
In this same vein of contributing to a healthier future , AI ’ s integral role during the COVID-19 pandemic was significant – a theme we explore in this issue – and has helped the world move towards a resilient recovery .
What is clear is that , while AI is good for business , we shouldn ' t forget its imperative role as we emerge from the pandemic and strive to create a greener , cleaner and sustainable future for us all . Enjoy !
