However, not all development is beneficial. While technology has fuelled great innovations and rapid development, the notion of sustainable development has gained promise because we now experience serious social, economic, environmental challenges. This book examines whether technology can be used to fix the very problems caused by technology, as the various chapters examine different aspects related to how technology has brought us where we are today (which some will say is the best place humanity's been at according to a range of metrics), and whether technology helps or hinders us in our efforts to solve the challenges we currently face. The issues discussed cover the three sustainability dimensions and include topics such as the materiality of AI, technology in education, AI for gender equality, innovation and the digital divide, and how technology relate to power, the political system, and capitalism. The chapters all build on the theoretical backdrop of technological change, sustainable development, and the UN's Sustainable Development Goals are actively used throughout the book, both to examine how these goals capture or overlook central elements of sustainable development, and also to facilitate and create a common framework of engagement between the chapters. The book provides a novel combination of traditional theories that are explored through different case studies, providing the ground for a better understanding of how and when technology can - and cannot - be the enabler of sustainable development. It is thus an important resource for students of all disciplines, technologists, and those developing and applying new technologies. It is also a valuable resource for politicians and regulators attempting to harness the power of technology for good, while limiting its negative potential.
