How AI can help us build an intelligent and sustainable future?

 

3. 导语/背景情况概述 Background:

      在此次抗击新冠肺炎疫情中,人工智能技术在病毒检测和诊断、疫情追踪、面部识别以及日常监测上发挥了关键支撑作用。然而,伴随人工智能技术的广泛应用,所带来的潜在风险,如数字鸿沟加剧、数据隐私问题以及自动化武器开发等也需要关注。因此,我们需要引导技术实现可持续发展目标,使人工智能实现普惠。本次马拉松将吸引全球致力于应用人工智能技术促进可持续发展的学生。

The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the proliferation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies in public health, such as contact tracing, facial recognition, virus detection and vaccine development. As we start to reap the benefits of AI technologies to combat the pandemic, we also need to recognize the potential risks posed by such technologies, such as the widening digital divide, data privacy concerns, and the development of autonomous weapons. Therefore, more efforts and investments are needed to steer technology towards achieving the Sustainable Development Goals and make more AI beneficial for all. This Hack aims to bring teams of passionate young people from across the world together to embark on a learning journey to explore how we can harness AI technologies to tackle real-world problems.
