Emerging technologies related to the cognitive environment make it possible to create a hybrid ecosystem between the physical and digital spaces in which human activity increasingly takes place. Their ethical structuring and subsequent legal regulation must be carried out bearing in mind their hybrid nature and the dual use of the technologies that support the digital world.

In this paper we present the potential contributions of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to sustainable and equitable development that is respectful of human rights, as against its potential risks. We argue how a particular approach to R&D, and by extension to the education of future professionals, could give this technology a decisive role in achieving the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. In particular, we propose the Service-Learning methodology as a pedagogical tool for the education of intelligent technology engineers committed to the 2030 Agenda.

Artificial Intelligence is currently foreseen as the most disruptive technological advance of the ongoing Digital Revolution. There is a strong competition for gaining supremacy in the international geostrategic landscape and, among many other elements, ethical considerations are starting to strongly show up.

How new technologies will impact society in the coming years or how Artificial Intelligence can help sectors such as the economy or the environment is a question we all ask ourselves.
