Abstract Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the scientific, technological, and sustainable development landscape. With the ability to make machines analyze data, learn patterns, and take smart decisions, AI is speeding up scientific research and driving innovation in numerous sectors. In medicine, climatology, and materials science, AI assists researchers in making quicker discoveries through the analysis of large volumes of data, forecasting outcomes, and modeling complex systems.Technological innovation is also being transformed by AI with automation, intelligent systems, and robots, resulting in enhanced efficiency and productivity. In addition, AI is at the forefront of solving worldwide challenges associated with sustainable development. Precision agriculture, intelligent energy management, AI-based educational tools, and medical diagnosis are directly assisting the achievement of United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Though it is beneficial, the increasing power of AI creates significant social and ethical issues such as data privacy, algorithmic bias, and unequal access to technology. To make AI provide positive additions to sustainable development, responsible development, participatory policies, and international collaboration are necessary. This work examines the role of AI as a driver of scientific and technological development as well as for sustainable development while highlighting the values of ethical use and access. Keywords: Artificial Intelligence (AI), Scientific Research, Technological Innovation, Sustainable Development, Automation, United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)
