Young AI Leaders

The Young AI Leaders community was built on AI for Good's belief that the future of AI lies not only in technological advancements but in the people who guide its development. Our community empowers young leaders with the tools, opportunities, and a global stage to drive ethical and responsible AI innovation. By fostering collaboration, creativity, and inclusivity, we are shaping a future where AI becomes a force for good, transforming lives and addressing the world's most pressing challenges.

Innovation is at the heart of the Young AI Leaders Community. With guidance, mentorship, and resources, this youth-led initiative is designed to thrive and create lasting, positive impact. Through initiatives like the Young AI Leaders Community, AI for Good ensures that young people have the skills, platforms, and support to lead the way in building a more inclusive and sustainable digital future.

The Young AI Leaders community is an initiative started by AI for Good. AI for Good is organized by ITU in partnership with over 40 UN Sister Agencies and co-convened with the Government of Switzerland. AI for Good is identifying trustworthy AI applications, building skills and standards, and advancing AI governance for sustainable development.
