Artificial intelligence (AI), which was built for "a better world" motto, reveals its potential in many fields. Despite of such good intension, results of AI systems caused bias, and sharpened the social prejudices. Besides in order to create such powerful AI systems and unbiased machines, the massive data collected, storaged, processed, also caused high energy consumption, ecological degradation. Although efforts have been made to integrate artificial intelligence into the sustainability field, the main limitation is about the AI researcher's, developer's point of view. In this study, revealing the contribution of artificial intelligence to the Sustainable Development Goals is aimed. At this point, data were collected using the analytical hierarchy process (AHP) from 30 individuals who were trained and worked as a developer in the field of artificial intelligence. As a result, it has been understood that while the developers believe that artificial intelligence will contribute mostly in the fields related to the industry and economy, they believe that it will make almost no contribution due to the bias problems on the gender equality side
