The AI Innovation Grand Challenge Wants Your Proposals
The Enterprise Neurosystem in partnership with UN Climate Change is hosting the AI Innovation Grand Challenge and it is now accepting proposals that leverage AI for responsible climate adaptation and equitable mitigation in developing countries.
Learn more about the Grand Challeng and submit your 250-word proposal @ https://enter.innovationgrandchallenge.ai.
Here are the basics:
The competition is open to individuals and groups worldwide, regardless of background or affiliation. Students, entrepreneurs, academics, researchers, NGO volunteers, and individuals with non-traditional educational or career paths are all encouraged to apply. Proposals at all stages of development, from initial ideas to prototypes to solutions already deployed in the field.
All proposals must be submitted by 11:59pm EDT August 12, 20244. A number of rounds of judging will then take place via online channels. The competition will culminate with a presentation from the winner at the UN Climate Change Conference (aka COP 29) in Baku, Azerbaijan in November 2024.
The winning proposal should directly address climate change mitigation and adaptation needs in developing countries, especially in least developed countries (LDCs) and small island developing States (SIDS). It should demonstrate potential for increasing resilience, enhancing adaptation capabilities, or reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Solutions described should be suitable and feasible for implementation in these regions.
Read the press release for more information on the Grand Challenge. Full information on judges and prizes will be shared in due course via this blog and LinkedIn.
Oh, and also …
Applications developed during the competition will be considered for distribution via the AI Climate Application Hub, a unique online repository for AI-powered open source climate applications that the Enterprise Neurosystem and the UN are partnering to launch in the Fall of 2024. The repository will become a source of freely available AI applications for ready use in future climate change mitigation and adaptation endeavors.
