AI for Good Innovate for Impact




                          2.  Project introduction and

                              selection process






                      2�1  AI use cases


                      2�1�1  Use case selection

                      Within the deadline for the call for use cases, we received 234 submissions from 32 countries.
                      For evaluation of the use cases, a set of criteria was established encompassing clarity and
                      completeness, justification, alignment with AI for Good objectives, and evaluation against
                      specific metrics, each with an assigned percentage. Considering our timeline constraints, we
                      decided to release an interim collection of use cases in July 2025, featuring an initial 160 use
                      cases. Subsequently, we will continue the engagement with use case authors and scholars to
                      enhance and refine the collection, with the final version scheduled for release in September
                      2025.


                      2�1�2  Geographical distribution

                      The 160 use cases came from 28 countries of six regions, including Australia, Canada, China,
                      Cyprus, Côte d'Ivoire, Ethiopia, Georgia, Ghana, India, Iraq, Italy, Korea, Lebanon, Luxembourg,
                      Malaysia, Nigeria, Palestine, Russia, Saudi Arabia, Switzerland, Tanzania, Thailand, Uganda,
                      United Arab Emirates, United Kingdom, United States, Zambia, and Zimbabwe

                      This geographical diversity underscores the global momentum behind AI adoption. Asia and
                      Pacific region lead the charge, powered by established tech giants and rapidly rising innovation
                      hubs across developing countries. Africa’s strong representation reflects its successful embrace
                      of digital technologies, demonstrating how AI can help leapfrog traditional development
                      pathways and accelerate digital transformation. In Arab state region, active participation
                      highlights strategic investments in AI as part of broader efforts to modernize economies
                      and reduce reliance on natural resources. Europe and CIS region contributes through
                      well-developed AI ecosystems that integrate cutting-edge research with robust regulatory
                      frameworks, while Americas remains a driving force in foundational innovation and large-scale
                      enterprise applications.

                      We extended invitations to 45 authors to join us at the Summit and showcase their work.
