Taking the current context as a starting point and reflecting on how to build a new normality, this article considers the main milestones on which the building of this new normality, which must be of a transforming nature, must be based. In this sense, technology is identified as one of the most important contributions to boost sustainable development, and the relationship “technological development-sustainable development” is preliminarily established as the product of a documentary review based on the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, as well as on academic and scientific studies on technology, artificial intelligence and its relationship with the Sustainable Development Goals. As a result, the role of academia as an engine of scientific development for the technological development for sustainability is highlighted. Finally, potential research inputs are presented in fields such as responsible tech nologies, technology-based sustainable development, among others. What becomes evident is the need to investigate sustainability as a system composed of three interdependent dimen sions: a natural dimension, a human dimension and a technological dimension.
