AI is transforming every aspect of our lives and society. It is young people who are at the forefront of developing innovative AI programmes and initiatives that are tackling the world’s most pressing social and environmental challenges.
AI is increasingly becoming used as a central tool in tackling the climate emergency. From quantifying heat-loss in homes, to mapping methane emissions and monitoring natural resources, it is revolutionising the way we preserve our environment and its ecosystems.
Following the success of last year’s collaboration, The Brandtech Group is teaming up with One Young World again to offer the AI for Good Scholarship 2025.
The scholarship will shine a light on five incredible young leaders who are promoting the socially and environmentally sustainable and responsible use of AI.
Selected scholars will be leading initiatives that are aligned with one or more of four pillars of action, namely:
- Utilising AI as a tool to actively tackle social harm, and promote social equity and wellbeing.
- Utilising AI as a tool to promote sustainability and tackle climate change
- Reducing the negative social impacts caused by the misuse of AI.
- Reducing the negative environmental impacts associated with AI.
This programme will enable an interdisciplinary cohort of five young leaders to participate in the One Young World Summit 2025, where they will be eligible to present their solutions to a global audience.
The Brandtech Group is committed to identifying mentorship and networking opportunities from our network to help accelerate the scholars’ impact.
