This session explores real-world AI applications tackling global challenges in climate, healthcare and education. We'll discuss the ethical implications of AI deployment, focusing on fairness, transparency and inclusivity. Our goal is to shape a future where AI drives equitable and sustainable progress for all, not just a privileged few. We'll examine how to design and implement AI solutions that create meaningful, widespread benefits. This conversation goes beyond technology, aiming to forge a path where AI becomes a force for universal good and measurable impact.

Kick off your Summit experience by joining data experts, Snowflake partners and Data Cloud evangelists for a hands-on hackathon on June 2. Work with an international team of Summit attendees to build tools and data visualizations to deliver data-driven insights for humanitarian emergencies. Learn from researchers and experts from NGOs like Direct Relief about the importance of geospatial data in humanitarian response. Snowflake's End Data Disparity initiative accelerates progress toward the UN Sustainable Development Goals by ensuring data sets, decision-making tools and AI models represent everyone. Participants will explore geospatial analytics for humanitarian efforts, perform data transformation in Snowflake and create interactive visuals with Streamlit. The Data for Good team will share insights and tools in future workshops, fostering collaborations that benefit communities and the planet. Space is limited and preregistration is required.
