DENMARK, Kolding: GRAILS – Global Responsible Artificial Intelligence League for Students

Project description

We are in the midst of an AI bloom. Since the introduction of ChatGPT new applications of AI are published on a daily basis. Organizations struggle to keep up. What tools are trending, useful or still missing? Which tools embody public values, such as transparency, accountability or inclusiveness? The goal of the Global Responsible Artificial Intelligence League for Students is to find the answers to these questions. Together we will shape the future of AI.

Overview of the Competition

The Global Responsible AI League for Students (GRAILS) is an annual competition that invites students and enthusiasts from around the world to develop artificial intelligence (AI) solutions with a focus on the sustainable development Goals (SDG’S). GRAILS seeks to inspire innovation in the field of AI, celebrate diverse approaches to responsible usage and give students an unique experience in global collaboration.

Objectives and Goals

The primary objectives of GRAILS is to:

• Pioneer the development of AI technologies and applications that are beneficial for society and adhere to ethical standards.
• Promote education and awareness of responsible AI practices.
• Provide a platform for emerging talents to showcase their abilities and contribute to the field of AI.
• Facilitate interdisciplinary cooperation and knowledge exchange within the AI community.

Learning outcomes and competencies obtained from this project

Responsible & Ethical AI for SDGs
The student can explain and apply principles of responsible AI (fairness, transparency, privacy, sustainability) when designing and evaluating an AI solution that addresses one or more UN Sustainable Development Goals.

AI-based Problem Solving & Prototyping
The student can analyse a real-world problem, formulate a clear problem statement and objectives, and design, implement, and test an AI-based prototype using appropriate data, tools, and basic software engineering practices.

Project Management & Innovation
The student can plan and carry out a multi-month innovation project from idea to demonstrable result, including setting milestones, managing time and risks, and adapting the project based on feedback and interim results.

Professional & Cross-audience Communication
The student can communicate the project’s aims, methods, ethical considerations, and results clearly and convincingly in writing, visually (e.g. project site or demo video), and orally to both technical and non-technical audiences.

Teamwork & Intercultural Collaboration
