Future of transportation sub-challenge
Background:
As students, we face various transportation challenges daily. The main problems are unavailability, poor quality of transportation means, high costs, and inconvenient timing. But have you ever wondered what other transportation problems might arise in the future? This is where you're going to shine, partners!
Objectives:
Your task is to imagine a future scenario (before the year 2050) where a problem arises in the area of transportation and create a solution that uses AI to solve that specific problem. Try to build your scenarios on credible resources like United Nations or World Bank websites etc . Please note that we have put a list that could help you.
Potential Considerations:
You may (but are not required to) consider the following when creating your solution:
What role could autonomous vehicles play in reshaping our cities and daily commutes?
How might changing work patterns (like remote work) influence transportation demands?
What new technologies might emerge that could revolutionize how we move people and goods?
How could transportation systems evolve to be more inclusive and accessible to all?
Future of security sub-challenge
Background:
Security is, according to the Cambridge dictionary, the protection of people, organizations, countries, etc. against a possible attack or other crime. It also means, in the context of IT, banking and the internet, the protection of information against being stolen or used wrongly or illegally. As citizens, we face various security challenges daily. The main problems are theft, moral and physical violence, rape and sexual harrassment, etc… But have you ever wondered what other security problems might arise in the future? This is where you're going to shine, partners!
Objectives:
Your task is to imagine a future scenario (before the year 2050) where a problem arises in the area of security and create a solution that uses AI to solve that specific problem. Try to build your scenarios on credible resources like United Nations or World Bank websites etc . Please note that we have put a list that could help you.
Potential Considerations:
You may (but are not required to) consider the following when creating your solution: - How might emerging technologies create new security vulnerabilities or threats?
What role could AI play in predicting and preventing security breaches?
How might climate change and resource scarcity impact global security?
What new challenges might arise in cybersecurity as our lives become increasingly digital?
How could AI be used to enhance personal safety in smart cities?
What ethical considerations might arise with advanced surveillance technologies?
How might security needs change as space exploration and colonization advance?
Don’t forget that security encompasses physical safety, cybersecurity and national security. Think beyond current security paradigms. The most innovative solutions often come from anticipating threats we haven't yet encountered!
Future of energy sub-challenge
Background:
As Tunisian citizens, we face various energy challenges daily. The main problems are unavailability, power outages that happen frequently, high costs, and limited resources. But have you ever wondered what other energy problems might arise in the future? This is where you're going to shine, partners!
Objectives:
Your task is to imagine a future scenario (before the year 2050) where a problem arises in the area of energy and create a solution that uses AI to solve that specific problem. Try to build your scenarios on credible resources like United Nations or World Bank websites etc . Please note that we have put a list that could help you.
Potential Considerations:
How might climate change impact our energy production and consumption patterns?
What role could AI play in managing smart grids and optimizing energy distribution?
How might new technologies change the way we store and transport energy?
What challenges might arise as we transition to renewable energy sources?
How could energy systems evolve to be more resilient to natural disasters or cyber threats?
What new energy sources might we discover or develop by 2050?
Put in mind that the future of energy isn't just about electricity. It encompasses all forms of power generation, distribution, storage, and consumption
Future of environment sub-challenge
Background:
Environmental challenges confront us daily. While pollution, resource scarcity, and climate change dominate current discussions, it's worth considering what new ecological issues may emerge in the future. This is where you're going to shine, partners!
Objectives:
Your task is to imagine a future scenario (before the year 2050) where a problem arises in the area of the environment and create a solution that uses AI to solve that specific problem. Try to build your scenarios on credible resources like United Nations or World Bank websites etc . Please note that we have put a list that could help you.
Potential Considerations:
You may (but are not required to) consider the following when creating your solution:
What new ecosystems might develop due to climate change or human intervention?
How could AI help monitor and manage these novel environments?
What resources might become critically scarce by 2050?
How could AI optimize the use and distribution of these resources?
What unique environmental challenges might future megacities face?
How could AI improve urban ecology and sustainability?
How might patterns of extreme weather evolve by 2050?
Could AI improve prediction, preparation, and response to these events?
