Applications are open and invited for the IBM Call for Code Global Challenge 2024. The last date of registration is October 17, 2024.
It’s time! Join this year’s Call for Code Global Challenge now. Build solutions to address equitable access while building your generative AI skills with free watsonx training.
Started in 2018, Call for Code is the largest tech-for-good initiative of its kind. They invite developers and problem-solvers from universities, startups, and enterprises around the world to build and contribute to innovative technology solutions that address social and humanitarian issues while ensuring top solutions are deployed to make a real difference. The world is facing unprecedented, interconnected challenges. They believe technology can help.
Basic necessities like clean water and safe, affordable housing, or opportunities in education and fair government representation are not equally accessible to all people. Climate change exacerbates the challenges that many people but especially women and historically underserved communities face as resources are strained and climate change protections are often inadequate. Generative AI has great potential to address these issues and reduce inequality, improving people’s lives.
Be a part of a new era in responsible AI. For the 2024 Call for Code Global Challenge, they’re calling on students, developers, and problem-solvers from universities and companies around the world to build innovative AI tech solutions with IBM watsonx that address specific challenges of equitable access to essential needs. Help show the world that AI can be trusted and used responsibly.
How can generative AI technology improve equitable access to essential resources and opportunities for all people?
It is open to students, developers, and problem solvers from universities, and companies around the world.
