Intel inspires AI innovation to inject youth into AI for good

The winners of the 4th Intel AI Global Impact Carnival Global Awards were announced recently. The theme of this year's carnival is "Make AI Everywhere for Everyone", with a view to promoting the development of AI technology in a more inclusive, equitable and accessible way. The event attracted enthusiastic participation from students from 25 countries around the world, who used Intel technology to create AI innovations that focused on real-world problems, aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, and had a positive social impact. After fierce competition, out of 106 shortlisted projects, 6 projects stood out and won the global award, and 3 projects won the AI Accessibility Award. In addition, this year's carnival has added self-learning courses on AI and sports, AI and space exploration, and AI and entrepreneurship to the existing generative AI and responsible AI courses, and all course participants will receive corresponding certificates.

"I'm inspired to see these young innovators who are proficient and committed to AI while leading the next generation of innovators to unlock new opportunities and drive positive change around the world," said Dawn Jones, Intel's vice president of corporate social impact and chair of the Intel Foundation. Looking to the future, these young innovators will be at the forefront of AI research and development, and the potential of AI for good will be unlimited. ”

AI has great potential to solve a wide range of global problems and plays an important role in sustainable agriculture, climate change, education inclusion, and health care. While AI technology continues to create positive change, its development also comes with potential moral hazards.

Intel has been committed to advancing a responsible AI strategy that promotes safe and trustworthy AI development and use. With the Intel AI Global Impact Carnival, Intel has created a unique platform for innovators around the world. Here, they will not only learn how to build AI solutions that can bring about positive change in an impactful and ethical way in line with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, but they will also be able to showcase innovations on this world-class stage, share best practices in AI skills and implementation, and promote digital empowerment and innovative talent development.
