AI for Good is an ongoing webinar series organized by the Standardization Bureau (ITU-T) of the International Telecommunication Union, where AI innovators and problem owners learn, discuss and connect to identify AI solutions to advance the Sustainable Development Goals.[1] The impetus for organizing global summits that are action oriented, came from existing discourse in artificial intelligence (AI) research being dominated by research streams such as the Netflix Prize (improve the movie recommendation algorithm).
AI for Good aims to bring forward Artificial Intelligence research topics that contribute towards more global problems,[2][3] in particular through the Sustainable Development Goals.
AI for Good[4] came out of the AI for Good Global Summit 2020 which had been moved online in 2020 due to the COVID-19 Pandemic. AI for Good is organized by the Standardization Sector of the ITU (ITU-T). Since moving online, AI for Good developed into three main program streams: Learn, Build, and Connect. AI for Good also helps organize ITU's Global Standards Symposium.[5]
