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.
