This chapter explores how “good” governance of artificial intelligence (AI), drawing from diverse ethical traditions, might help AI contribute to more sustainable futures. We now seem to be at a moment in history when clever governance of AI might contribute in a fundamentally different way to resolving long-standing and obstinate wicked social and economic policy dilemmas which now challenge people and the planet. AI has the potential to make matters better or worse. Can the good governance of AI help the achievement of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and more generally contribute to more sustainable futures? This chapter will use ethical insights from a variety of sources, as well as lessons of governance learned globally and juxtapose these to see how we might accelerate progress toward the SDGs and even address some of their inherent weaknesses such as an overall reliance on GDP per capita consumption growth. After a comparative overview of the governance arrangements in current vogue, the paper will suggest a model of AI governance based on complex adaptive systems thinking and within this framework identify how AI ethics from different perspectives might be deployed to address some of the wicked public policy problems posed earlier. Strategies such as anticipatory, adaptive, and quantum governance will be used to deal with dynamic uncertainty in the evolution of the AI ecosystem and provide guard rails for responsible AI governance, but will seek to go beyond that to envision a world of prosperity without growth as we know it.
