| Summary: | This book is the first scholarly work dedicated to examining the complex relationship between artificial intelligence and communicating the UN Sustainable Development Goals. Moving beyond techno-optimist narratives, the book advances a critical theoretical intervention: the AI Sustainability Exclusion Theory. This framework identifies interconnected biases that systematically exclude populations from AI's developmental benefits, contradicting the 2030 Agenda's pledge to "leave no one behind." It is essential reading for communications and development scholars, policymakers, and practitioners seeking to ensure that the AI economy advances human flourishing rather than exacerbating global inequality. This is probably the first book which attempts to integrate three previously less connected domains: communications, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), and artificial intelligence (AI). The contributions edited by Dr. Muhammad Jameel Yusha'u advance our understanding that AI can be utilized as a communication for development tool to achieve the SDGs. ---Jan Servaes (PhD, former UNESCO Chair in Communication for Sustainable Social Change A sharp and timely collection that shows why AI must be at the centre of global sustainability debates. It is essential reading for anyone committed to fair and inclusive development.---Massimo Ragnedda (Associate Professor at the University of Sharjah and Honorary Professor at Lomonosov University).
