Submit your AI use case
  • Track 1
    AI agents for global impact
    Autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents that support decision-making, coordination and service delivery in domains such as health, education, policy, public services and crisis management.

    Example use cases:

    • AI agents assisting citizens to access e-government and social services
    • Multi-agent systems for hospital bed allocation, triage and referral
    • Classroom tutoring agents to support teachers and students in low-resource environments

  • Track 2
    Quantum communication and secure AI-enhanced networks

    AI-supported and AI-enabled quantum communication, post-quantum security, and secure data exchange for critical infrastructure and cross-border collaboration.

    Example use cases:

    • Simulation and optimization of quantum key distribution (QKD) networks
    • AI-based routing and resource management in quantum communication networks
    • Secure and privacy-preserving data-sharing frameworks for applications aimed at addressing global challenges

  • Track 3
    Brain–Computer Interface (BCI) for Health

    AI-enabled BCI systems that support rehabilitation, accessibility, mental health monitoring, and human–AI interaction, particularly for people with disabilities or mobility challenges.

    Example use cases:

    • Assistive communication interfaces for people with speech or motor impairments
    • Rehabilitation support systems for stroke survivors
    • Attention/engagement monitoring in education or training settings (with strong ethical safeguards)

  • Track 4
    Embodied Artificial Intelligence
    Embodied Artificial Intelligence operating in the physical world to support industry, smart cities, logistics, elderly care, agriculture, environmental monitoring and disaster response.

    Example use cases:

    • Service robots supporting elderly care and assisted living
    • Agricultural robots for precision farming and resource optimization
    • Search-and-rescue robots for disaster scenarios, mapping and assessment

  • Track 5
    Generative AI for creativity, education and public services
    Generative models (text, image, audio, video and multimodal)  to support education, media, local languages, cultural heritage, transparency in public services and inclusive communication.

    Example use cases:

    • Generative AI for local-language educational content creation
    • Synthetic data to support modelling tasks related to global challenges
    • AI-assisted tools to draft public policy summaries, regulatory guidelines or citizen information in plain language

  • Track 6
    Space Computing to address global challenges

    AI models running on or using satellite, UAV and remote sensing data, as well as space-based compute, to support climate action, agriculture, urban planning, disaster risk reduction and connectivity.

    Example use cases:

    • Crop yield estimation, drought monitoring and food security planning
    • Urban heat island analysis and resilient city planning
    • Early warning systems for floods, wildfires, storms and other hazards

  • Track 7
    Open-source AI for global impact

    Open-source AI refers to AI models, code, datasets, or tools with open-source licenses. This allows transparency, lowering barriers for developing countries, promoting interoperability, and community-driven innovations.

    Example use cases:

    • Open-source geospatial pipelines for disaster monitoring
    • Local deployment of open LLMs for government digital services
    • Open-source robotics for agriculture or emergency response
    • Reproducible AI education platforms for low-resource environments

FAQsFrequently Asked Questions

How to submit?

Use the form given here Submit new AI use cases to submit. Only online submissions are accepted. 

Future Steps: 

Once the submission period comes to a close, our panel of experts will rigorously evaluate the use case submissions. Participants whose use cases closely align with the objectives of the AI for Good project and score well on the evaluation criteria below, will be notified, and their use cases would be potentially featured at the AI for Good Global Summit.  

Moreover, selected use cases may benefit from further support in the form of seed resources, mentorship programs, and networking opportunities. Final prize winners will be announced and honoured at an award ceremony in July 2026. 

Evaluation criteria: 

  • 10% – Clarity and completeness 
  • 10% – Is the link to addressing global challenges clearly justified? 
  • 30% – Are the technical approaches clearly studied and explained in the use case? 
  • 20% – Innovation and use of advanced AI techniques 
  • 15% – Quality of design diagrams; alignment with ITU standards and standardization potential  
  • 15% – Are the lessons learnt from the use case clearly stated?
