Sustainable development in the digital age: the impact of ai and machine learning on mental health

Abstract

The rapid expansion of the digital economy is reshaping various sectors, including healthcare, where Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are emerging as transformative tools in mental health diagnosis, treatment, and support. In the context of sustainable development, AI-driven solutions can enhance accessibility to mental health care, personalize treatment plans, and enable early detection of disorders through the analysis of large-scale digital data, including behavioral patterns and medical records. This presentation explores the intersection of AI, the digital economy, and sustainable development, focusing on Kazakhstan’s experience in leveraging digital transformation to improve social well-being. Drawing from research on the role of digitalization in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), the discussion will highlight how AI-based mental health interventions contribute to economic resilience, workforce productivity, and inclusive healthcare access. Additionally, the study examines the correlation between digital competitiveness and sustainable development, demonstrating how AI-driven mental health solutions can reduce social inequality and bridge healthcare accessibility gaps. However, as AI becomes increasingly integrated into mental health care, ethical concerns such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and regulatory challenges must be addressed to ensure responsible implementation. This presentation will provide policy recommendations for balancing technological advancement with ethical and social considerations, ensuring that AI contributes to sustainable and equitable mental health care systems. By aligning AI innovations with the broader digital economy, Kazakhstan and other nations can foster a more resilient, inclusive, and sustainable future.
