Find a Solution that Measurably Improves Outcomes in Society by using Generative AI

 

Today, advances in artificial intelligence, including ChatGPT and generative AI, have raised fascinating use cases and the promise of lower costs and enhanced performance in a variety of activities.  We are launching this new track of the our Cross Campus Innovation Challenge to foster the innovation potential of AI to create positive societal impact. By showcasing innovative solutions that leverage AI for societal good, we aim to demonstrate the transformative power of AI in addressing pressing challenges and creating meaningful, lasting impact. 

Technological solutions may address, but are not limited to, the following areas:

  • Healthcare

  • Sustainability

  • Education

  • Transportation

Prompt

 
Use generative artificial intelligence (AI) to create a technological solution that creates a meaningful and positive impact on society. You may focus on any area in which your technology may significantly improve societal outcomes (healthcare, transportation, education, sustainability, etc.)

Judging Criteria

 

Your solution must use technology to have impact at the system level or the individual/consumer level, but also be pragmatic and commercially viable in light of the business, social, and political environments. 

IMPACT
Combined depth and breadth of value created both for firm and society. The team fully explains its structured thought process for identifying market need and societal value add.
FEASIBILITY
The solution has a clear pathway to execution. The team has defined concrete next steps to implement the solution and provides ample evidence to prove the solution’s feasibility.
INNOVATION
The solution is original, powerful, and differentiated from others. The team conveys evidence using research and demonstrates what makes its solution innovative.
PERSUASION
Clear and compelling written and oral presentations. The team demonstrates vision, passion, and operating credibility to make the venture successful.
