AI for Good-Innovate for Impact

Figure 3: Number of use cases impacting specific SDGs

2�1� Entities who submitted AI use cases

Entities include Academia, Government, NGO (Non-Governmental Organization), and
Industry. This indicates a multi-stakeholder approach to AI development and implementation,
involving collaboration between academic institutions, government agencies, NGOs, and
industry players. Industry appears to be the most common entity type involved in AI initiatives,
followed by Academia, Government, and NGO. This suggests that commercial stakeholders
play a significant role in driving AI innovation, with academic and governmental institutions
also contributing significantly to research, policy development, and implementation of AI
technologies.

2�2 Scholars Selection

Within the deadline for the Call for AI4G Scholars, we received 118 scholar applications from 35
countries. We aimed for identifying top candidates who embody a diverse range of qualities
and commitments. The selection criteria were academic qualifications, interests and dedication
to SDGs, collaboration and partnership, communication skills, and a recommendation letter.
We selected 13 scholars from academia, universities, and AI companies (see Table <1>) who
were invited to participate in the AI for Good Global Summit 30-31 May 2024.
