The Revolution Will Be Digital: UN-Backed AI Challenge Aims to Hack the Climate Crisis
In a bold move to tackle the existential threat of climate change, three organizations – the International Research Centre on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI), data science platform Zindi, and Amazon Web Services (AWS) – are joining forces to launch a groundbreaking social coding challenge.
The "AI for Equity Challenge: Climate Action, Gender and Health" is a six-month global virtual contest that pits the world’s top researchers, non-profits, and startups against each other to create innovative AI-driven solutions that address the most pressing gender and health equity issues exacerbated by climate change.
By leveraging advanced cloud computing and AI technologies, participants will develop programming that supports more equitable futures at the intersection of gender, health, and climate action. The challenge will focus on building solutions that target three key United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs): good health and well-being (SDG 3), gender equality (SDG 5), and climate action (SDG 13).
The Stakes Are High, But the Rewards Are Bigger
The challenge will support winners with expert guidance in AI sustainability and responsible AI, as well as AWS credits to build their solutions. The stakes are high, but the potential rewards are enormous. For the winners, it’s a chance to make a real difference in the fight against climate change and gender inequality, while also securing a reputation as leaders in the field.
The Road to Sustainability Runs Through Innovation
"Davor Orlic, COO of IRCAI, says, "The AI for Equity Challenge is a game-changer. We’re not just talking about developing new technologies – we’re talking about harnessing the power of AI to create a more equitable future for all."**
With the clock ticking on climate change, it’s imperative that we unlock the potential of AI to drive real-world impact. The AI for Equity Challenge is an opportunity to discover and support the most innovative minds in the field, and to create a sustainable future for generations to come.
