If you are an aspiring change agent with a passion for using AI for socially sustainable good, take the chance to explore your ideas at Women in AI Hackathon!  Det winning team will be rewarded with funding as well as coaching in developing a tailored implementation plan to implement the solution and create benefit.

The hackathon focuses on AI solutions in three challenge areas for gender equality: power and influence, unpaid domestic work and men's violence against women.
