What a finished project shows
AI for GoodUniversity · Ages 18–24
Make: A working solution for a clearly defined group and a need you can measure.
AI’s job: AI carries out a core function. Explain why AI is the right tool here, and where it isn't.
Shows:
- Evidence that the need is real: observation, public data, an anonymous survey or interviews without personal details.
- Success measures set before testing, then a test with 8 or more users or stand-ins, or 20 or more realistic cases.
- A responsible-AI check (fairness across languages, ages and abilities, privacy, what happens when it's wrong, relying on it too much) and a note on how it could keep running.
- A process log with at least 5 dated entries, a short intro and your project or a demo judges can open.
Finalists on stage: 10 min talk + 3 min Q&A.
A summary: if the two ever differ, your challenge is what counts.
