The UN has identified 17 sustainable development goals (https://sdgs.un.org/goals) and the AI for good Global Summit https://aiforgood.itu.int/ (which was held last week) focused on exactly that.

If you check the recordings, some sessions were directly focused on connecting problem experts, data access, computing resources and people with skills or idea or passion. The opportunities span from students or researchers, up to what will take innovative companies or bigtech to solve, or government and international organizations.

It was also the place were a lot of discussions about AI regulation took place. The discussions and the decisions that will follow from that meeting will shape the world to come IMHO.

The SDGs are really the defining issues of this century that need to be solved. I think if a company truly wants to make the world a better placeā„¢ then they should start at looking at them.
Neat. Although there seem a to be overlap in the goals.

Do they have measurement in the goals over time?

I believe the World Bank keeps some metrics on tracking SDGs (sustainable development goals). Googling "world bank sdgs" yields results.
