This book provides research insights into how Artificial Intelligence (AI) can be used to achieve the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) – 17 interconnected goals designed to address the world’s most pressing challenges by 2030. It reviews the SDGs and discusses why progress has been mixed and uneven across different countries, regions and goals. The book posits that attaining the SDGs will depend on enhanced global cooperation, increased funding, improved infrastructure, public-private partnerships, regional/continental integration, addressing the climate crisis, inclusive economic transformation, and visionary leadership. More specifically, the publication advocates leveraging innovative and transformative technologies, particularly the deployment of AI. The research acknowledges the risks of digital imperialism, data colonialism and technological exclusion, especially in emerging and least industrialised economies. Hence, in deploying AI to achieve the SDGs, the book puts a premium on decoloniality in AI systems and democratising AI technology. Provides a critique of the current SDGs approach by reframing the goals as a comprehensive risk assessment of humanity’s most pressing threats in the 21st century; Features broad and holistic interventions to accelerate the attainment of the SDGs; Provides a comprehensive but accessible introduction to AI concepts and advanced innovations such as AlphaFold, ChatGPT-4, DeepSeek-R1, Grok 3, and autonomous vehicles (drones and driverless cars); Discusses the AI strategies of leading economies and assesses the impact of AI on geopolitics; Provides a comprehensive critique of global AI efforts by the UN and African Union, while proffering alternative paradigms and frameworks; Presents the enablers, drivers and strategic framework of AI deployment to achieve the SDGs; Develops and presents details of six distinct but related components of a novel Strategic Framework for developing and adopting AI – Vision, Strategy, Policy, Governance, Legislation/Regulations, and Implementation Matrix; Outlines specific ways that AI can be deployed to achieve each of the 17 SDGs and reviews seven countries’ experiences; Explores an innovative, forward-looking, and technology-driven framework for equitable global socio-economic transformation to succeed the SDGs post-2030.

Special focus: Passage of Foreign Fishing Vessels and Enforcement Regimes of Coastal States with Reference to Malaysian Practice Description: The creation and widespread adoption of 200 nautical miles (nmi) of exclusive economic zone (EEZ) under the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) represents a dramatic geographic and functional expansion of coastal states’ (refer to all the international conventions) jurisdiction – probably the largest transfer of resources to national jurisdiction in history. These zones cover about 36 per cent (%) of the surface of the seas, 90% of fisheries, and 43% of the value of the world’s “ecosystem services”. Thus, to undertake conservation measures and sustainable exploitation of fisheries and other living resources, which provide livelihoods for more than 59.5 million people and a main source of animal protein for 40% of the eight billion global population, the coastal states are empowered to undertake enforcement measures as provided by Article 73 and, to a certain extent, Article 111 in harmony with Article 300 of UNCLOS. Bearing in mind that an enhanced monitoring, control, and surveillance (MCS) on the marine fishing operation is an important tool in fisheries law and enforcement, this paper specifically discusses contentious issues of whether foreign fishing vessels (FFVs) and foreign vessels involved in fisheries-related activities (FVFRAs) enjoy the absolute right of innocent passage and freedom of navigation or limited navigational rights in all maritime zones —including the continental shelf of coastal states as provided by various articles in the UNCLOS — or they are bound to comply to the respective coastal states’ domestic laws, that is, through notification or authorisation as a mandatory requirement from relevant coastal states’ authorities, prior to entering and exiting any of their maritime zones. In addition to that, this paper also focuses on the effectiveness of enforcement measures under Section 16 of the Malaysian Fisheries Act 1985 (as amended) by relevant Malaysian maritime enforcement agencies against FFV for the failure to notify, and similar application of domestic laws and practices by other coastal states and issues related to “creeping jurisdiction” in relation to fisheries-extended jurisdiction under the notion of “territorial temptation” of coastal states.

Embark on a thought-provoking journey into the realm of nuclear landscapes, where the power of the atom unfolds in both its awe-inspiring and unsettling manifestations. This comprehensive exploration delves into the intricate tapestry of nuclear technology, revealing its profound impact on our world. Through captivating narratives and expert insights, we traverse nuclear test sites, witnessing the scars left by detonations and the enduring legacy of radioactive contamination. We unravel the complex relationship between radiation and life, examining its dual nature as a healing force and a potential harbinger of harm. The book delves into the intricate world of nuclear energy, weighing its immense potential against its inherent risks. We explore the challenges of nuclear waste management and the ongoing quest for safer, more sustainable technologies. We also investigate the role of nuclear power in addressing climate change, considering its potential to provide a clean, reliable energy source for a growing global population. The specter of nuclear accidents looms large in our collective consciousness, serving as a stark reminder of the catastrophic consequences that can arise from human error or unforeseen events. We revisit the haunting incidents of Chernobyl, Fukushima, and Three Mile Island, extracting valuable lessons from these tragedies to inform future safety measures and emergency preparedness protocols. The pursuit of nuclear nonproliferation and security takes center stage, as we delve into the global efforts to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons and materials. We examine the role of international organizations and agreements in promoting nuclear disarmament and fostering cooperation in the face of shared threats. Finally, we peer into the future of nuclear technology, envisioning a world where fusion energy becomes a reality, offering virtually limitless, clean energy. We contemplate the ethical implications of nuclear technology development, considering the delicate balance between progress and responsibility. From space exploration to medical advancements, we explore the myriad potential applications of nuclear technology, charting a course for a future where its benefits are harnessed for the betterment of humankind.
