Summary – Hamburg Declaration on Responsible AI for the SDGs (June 2025)
The Hamburg Declaration is a global commitment by governments, international organizations, civil society, academia, and the private sector to promote responsible, inclusive, and sustainable use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to accelerate progress on the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Recognizing both the opportunities and risks of AI, the declaration outlines a human-centred, human-rights-based approach to AI development and governance. It emphasizes the importance of equity, inclusion, environmental sustainability, innovation, peace, and global cooperation, structured around the five pillars of the 2030 Agenda:

People – Promote human rights, gender equality, and digital inclusion, especially for marginalized groups.
Planet – Ensure AI contributes to climate action and environmental protection through green, sustainable technologies.
Prosperity – Foster inclusive economic growth by supporting local innovation, skills development, and equitable access to AI infrastructure.
Peace – Safeguard information integrity and prevent the misuse of AI for disinformation, social division, or online harm.
Partnerships – Encourage multistakeholder collaboration, open data, and AI as a global public good to address shared challenges.

The declaration calls for collective action, transparency, accountability, and inclusive partnerships to ensure that AI benefits all people and the planet, leaving no one behind.
