ITU AI for Early Warnings for All Innovation Challenge 2025 – YOA

Deadline: May 26, 2025

Applications are open for the ITU AI for Early Warnings for All Innovation Challenge 2025. The AI for Early Warnings for All Innovation Challenge: Bridging gaps with AI options is a world hackathon designed to harness the ability of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to deal with vital gaps in early warning programs (EWS) for disasters and excessive climate occasions.

They are wanting for initiatives that may suggest options to innovate on​ these 4 problem areas: 

• ​AI for Data Gaps: Develop AI-powered instruments that handle lacking or low-high quality knowledge in early warning programs, together with using artificial knowledge, knowledge fusion, and pure language processing to reinforce protection and accuracy. 
• AI for Forecasting and Impact-Based Prediction: Create AI fashions to enhance the accuracy, lead time, and impression-based mostly nature of hazard forecasting, together with excessive climate, heatwaves, and sluggish-onset disasters. 
• Societal Impacts of AI in Early Warning: Design inclusive, moral AI programs that handle language limitations, accessibility, misinformation, and belief-constructing in communities, particularly amongst susceptible and marginalized teams. 
• Emergency Preparedness, Anticipatory Action and Resource Optimization: Apply AI to strengthen anticipatory approaches and optimize the allocation of emergenc​y assets, together with the design of situation-based mostly simulations, enhancing logistics, concentrating on and supply below quick lead instances, supporting personalised early motion recommendation, behaviour-triggering instruments or coordination help, and assessing preparedness and/or anticipatory motion plans in actual-time.​​

Benefits

The AI for Early Warnings for All Innovation Challenge: Bridging gaps with AI options presents finalists a excessive-profile platform to showcase their options, acquire international visibility, refine their concepts with professional mentorship, and construct significant connections to assist speed up their work. Finalists will:​

• ​Present on the AI for Good Global Summit 2025, throughout the session AI for Early Warnings for All Workshop: Bridging gaps with AI options​ on 09 July 2025, 09:00 AM – 12:15 PM CEST ​at Palexpo (Room T,) Geneva, Switzerland​​, gaining publicity to a world viewers of tech leaders and changemakers​.
• Receive tailor-made mentorship and technical steerage from main AI consultants, UN specialists and members of the AI Sub-Group of EW4All​. Plug into a strong community of UN businesses, AI innovators, policymakers, and companions able to discover alternatives for collaboration and development​
