The AI technology is driving a technological revolution, impacting the global economy and society. A wide range of sectors, including healthcare, financial services, manufacturing, agriculture, education, intelligent transportation, 5G networks, and climate change are achieving tangible benefits from integration of AI techniques. These benefits include user friendly applications and services, better usability and performance, availability and agility of services, in addition to better manageability. However, alongside these benefits, experts caution about challenges such as the widening digital divide and the perpetuation of social and algorithmic biases. To tackle these issues, ITU launched AI for Good Innovate for Impact project initiative under the AI for Good platform. This initiative facilitates sharing of use cases, impactful AI applications and global lessons and expertise from around the world. In 2024, our initiative received positive feedback from both scholars and project contributors, highlighting the value of the selected AI use cases in addressing real-world problems using AI. Building on this success, we continued the initiative in 2025 by reissuing the call for AI use cases and the call for AI scholars. In addition, to enhance the scientific rigor of the evaluation process and provide more structured support to participating scholars, we established a new Technical Advisory Committee (TAC) composed of experts from various domains.
