AI Innovation Challenge Fall 2025 has concluded. Check back for announcements about the next Innovation Challenge!
We are pleased to announce the winners of the AI Innovation Challenge for Social Good Fall 2024! Conquering the Innovation Challenge is not an easy feat - yet these students persevered through and came out on top! About 19 teams participated in total - teams were separated into three tracks:
This year, a track dedicated to Artificial Intelligence was introduced for participants.
Impact on Job Industries: AI is revolutionizing various sectors by enhancing efficiency, streamlining tasks, and promoting innovation.
Automation Benefits: Automation through AI offloads repetitive tasks from humans, enabling them to concentrate on work requiring creativity and critical thinking.
Sector-specific Advancements: In industries such as healthcare, computer science, finance, and transportation, AI is optimizing processes, reducing costs, and improving decision-making.
Future Potential: As AI technology advances, it is poised to reshape industries, create new job opportunities, and significantly improve quality of life globally.
With the generative AI added to the picture, 30% of hours worked today could be automated by 2030*. This update will establish new working areas while also terminating certain ones.
The chart to the right depicts projected job changes for the next few years:
Adoption of Automated Business Practices: Industries are increasingly integrating automation, impacting various job roles.
Projected Decline in Service-Oriented Jobs: There is an expected decrease in the demand for service-oriented positions such as cashiers and bank tellers.
Proactive Learning Initiative: To prepare for the AI revolution, the program exposes participants to AI's potential applications in solving everyday problems.
Focus on Complex Problem Solving: Participants are encouraged to apply their learnings to tackle more complex issues, building on the foundation established during this challenge.
