AI in social innovation & impact

Entrepreneurship Series

While innovation is often associated with profit maximization, it also plays a crucial role with regard to social developments. AI-based social innovations could potentially solve challenges in different areas, such as healthcare, climate and environmental protection, fairness, and education. AI expertise is valuable for societal actors such as NGOs and can give rise to non-profit social innovations. Until now, however, AI's positive societal impact has received too little attention. Cyber Valley intends to address this potential at "AI in Social Innovation & Impact", the next event in its Entrepreneurship Series.

At this event, our speakers will address some of the ways in which AI expertise can be used for social innovation. They will also present practical examples of how AI research can be applied in innovative fields or even a start-up.

Lorena Jaume-Palasí
Founder and Executive Director,The Ethical Tech Society

Lynn Kaack
