- 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.
