Global disparities in AI and SDG readiness reveal deep inequities. Digitally advanced nations thrive, while others face infrastructure gaps. To ensure inclusive progress, policymakers must invest in fixed energy, ethical AI deployment, and equitable financing—reframing sustainability as permanence and anchoring governance in trust equity and systemic resilience.
