ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI) IN SUSTAINABLE RURAL DEVELOPMENT

Abstract

Sustainable rural development involves a holistic approach where daily basic needs of rural populations must be covered by reliable public utilities combined with technical, socioeconomic, and environmental conditions to support regional economies and urban-rural linkages. Sustainable rural development is vital to the economic, social and environmental viability of nations. It is essential for poverty eradication since global poverty is overwhelmingly rural. Today’s era is considered as an age of science, technology, communication, intelligence, education and economy. The human being is tried to develop the society by implementing and adapting these concepts, especially in villages, city and town and turn them into Smart Village, Smart city and Smart Town. So, the objective of this report is to discuss role and the impact of artificial intelligence in rural areas for the development purposes, which is also known as villages. This paper puts light on how to develop the rural areas by implementing various technology related to AI and ML. In this paper we are going to consider some main areas which plays major role in sustainable rural development which are as education, agri-sector, healthcare system, e-commerce and connectivity. Artificial intelligence is considered the future of technology and digitalization. Its capacity to contribute to almost every sector of the industry offers many possibilities for governments and society to grow. That is why, many businesses around the globe have incorporated this technology into their procedures, products and services. The pursuit of this technological development has reached governments. Because of that, they are now trying to implement Artificial Intelligence in fields like healthcare, education, economy or agriculture. There is no doubt AI will be an essential foundation in the future of every country.
