About this Category

AI has the potential to tackle some of the most pressing issues facing humanity. So harnessing AI’s power to drive sustainability efforts, optimise resource management, and combat climate change is a great opportunity. In this topic we explore how Leaders can ensure AI can contribute to social good initiatives, bridging educational gaps, promoting equality, and creating a more just society. Our topic highlights and showcases how AI can become a powerful tool for positive global change and is also where we will feature most of the work of finalists in the Digital Leaders Impact Awards.
