    Abstract This policy brief navigates the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in cities and the imperative of responsible governance for sustainable development. The brief addresses the transformative potential of AI for urban challenges by leveraging insights from the global assessment of AI in cities (UN-HABITAT, 2024). AI applications enable multiple opportunities and benefits to support sustainable development progress. However, challenges such as the digital divide, privacy, and ethical concerns exist. The lack of standardized regulations and expertise amplifies these challenges, particularly in the global south. The concept of responsible AI emerges as a critical framework for aligning AI technologies with human rights and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The brief proposes key considerations for responsible AI adoption in cities, offering actionable strategies for aligning AI initiatives with the SDGs.
