Abstract
There has been increasing interest in the use of Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies such as artificial intelligence to help achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. Recently, multilateral organizations have sponsored initiatives to make countries aware of the benefits of using artificial intelligence for sustainable development and to educate citizens to improve quality of life. This paper explores aspects of employing artificial intelligence for sustainable development, with a focus on lifelong learning, and inclusive and equitable quality education. Data are drawn from a thematic review of 32 academic peer-reviewed journal articles and interviews with six international experts. Findings include examples of benefits and challenges of artificial intelligence to address sustainable development and education.
Keywords:

Résumé
Il y a eu un intérêt croissant sur l'utilisation des technologies de la quatrième révolution industrielle (4RI), telles que l'intelligence artificielle, pour contribuer à la réalisation des objectifs de développement durable (ODD). Récemment, des organisations multilatérales ont parrainé des initiatives visant à sensibiliser les pays aux avantages de l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle pour le développement durable et à éduquer les citoyens pour améliorer la qualité de vie. Cet article explore les aspects de l'utilisation de l'intelligence artificielle pour le développement durable, en mettant l'accent sur l'apprentissage tout au long de la vie et l'éducation de qualité inclusive et équitable. Les données sont tirées d'une revue thématique de 32 articles de journaux académiques évalués par des pairs et d'entretiens avec six experts internationaux. Les résultats comprennent des exemples d'avantages et de défis de l'intelligence artificielle pour aborder le développement durable et l'éducation.
