- Abstract: Developed and used responsibly Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a force for
global sustainable development. Given this opportunity, we expect that the many
of the existing guidelines and recommendations for trustworthy or responsible
AI will provide explicit guidance on how AI can contribute to the achievement
of United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This would in
particular be the case for the AI strategies of the Nordic countries, at least
given their high ranking and overall political focus when it comes to the
achievement of the SDGs. In this paper, we present an analysis of existing AI
recommendations from 10 different countries or organisations based on topic
modelling techniques to identify how much these strategy documents refer to the
SDGs. The analysis shows no significant difference on how much these documents
refer to SDGs. Moreover, the Nordic countries are not different from the others
albeit their long-term commitment to SDGs. More importantly, references to
\textit{gender equality} (SDG 5) and \textit{inequality} (SDG 10), as well as
references to environmental impact of AI development and use, and in particular
the consequences for life on earth, are notably missing from the guidelines.

Recent advancements in AI have highlighted the importance of guiding AI systems towards the intended goals, ethical principles, and values of individuals and groups, a concept broadly recognized as alignment.
The lack of clarified definitions and scopes of human-AI alignment poses a significant obstacle, hampering collaborative efforts across research domains to achieve this alignment.

Benchmarks are seen as the cornerstone for measuring technical progress in Artificial Intelligence (AI) research.
An increasingly prominent research area in AI is ethics, which currently has no set of benchmarks nor commonly accepted way for measuring the 'ethicality' of an AI system.
We argue that it makes more sense to talk about 'values' rather than 'ethics' when considering the possible actions of present and future AI systems.
