2023 Hackathon Details

The focus of this hackathon was to address societal challenges and improve people’s resiliency through the application of AI.

  • Can AI help us develop a climate resilience dashboard, enhance healthcare diagnostics, personalize education, or provide assistance to underserved communities?
     

  • How can we utilize AI to aid in humanitarian efforts, disaster response, and crisis management? 
     

  • Questions surrounding the use of AI for energy optimization, resource management, smart agriculture, waste reduction, and environmental monitoring to contribute to a more sustainable future. 
     

  • What is a way to enable better access to information and services for people with diverse abilities by using AI to develop assistive technologies and improve communication?

The United Nations resources around their Sustainable Development Goals open source data sets that are designed to address various social, economic, and environmental challenges faced by the world and to promote sustainable development holistically. 

 

Can you think of leveraging AI for better causes? We would love to hear from you.
