AI for Improving Human Wellbeing
This category involves using AI to help improve people‘s life experience, health, safety, and general well-being.
Examples include using AI to predict and improve healthcare outcomes, diagnose mental health, AI-enabled devices and programs that can help people with disabilities, AI-enabled prediction and decision-making tools to help prevent diseases, and AI-enabled solutions to help people in poverty find better access to resources.
AI for Improving the Environment
This category involves using AI to monitor, forecast, and predict environmental change, protect endangered species, and optimize the efficiency of energy resources.
Examples include combating climate change through better monitoring of carbon emissions, water usage predictions, and optimized energy supply. Better analysis of ecosystems, predictions of wildfires, and predictions of air quality.
AI for Enhancing Social Cohesion
This category involves using AI to help governments implement policies and improve decision–making processes.
Examples include AI–enabled monitoring systems for detecting fraud and corruption in public funds, AI–enabled surveillance systems for public safety, and AI–enabled programs for sorting through legal cases quickly. AI can be used for social good purposes, such as improving access to education, promoting racial justice, mitigating poverty, and increasing civic engagement.
