  AI is transforming the existing technology landscape at a rapid phase
enabling data-informed decision making and autonomous decision making. Unlike
any other technology, because of the decision-making ability of AI, ethics and
governance became a key concern. There are many emerging AI risks for humanity,
such as autonomous weapons, automation-spurred job loss, socio-economic
inequality, bias caused by data and algorithms, privacy violations and
deepfakes. Social diversity, equity and inclusion are considered key success
factors of AI to mitigate risks, create values and drive social justice.
Sustainability became a broad and complex topic entangled with AI. Many
organizations (government, corporate, not-for-profits, charities and NGOs) have
diversified strategies driving AI for business optimization and
social-and-environmental justice. Partnerships and collaborations become
important more than ever for equity and inclusion of diversified and
distributed people, data and capabilities. Therefore, in our journey towards an
AI-enabled sustainable future, we need to address AI ethics and governance as a
priority. These AI ethics and governance should be underpinned by human ethics.
