On April 21, the Seidenberg School of Computer Science and Information Systems at 麻豆传媒 hosted a local kickoff for the 2024 NY Climate Exchange AI Innovation Challenge. This event, led by Seidenberg's AI Lab co-directors Christelle Scharff and Katie Todd, introduced Pace students to a significant opportunity to engage with a global issue麻豆传媒攕tormwater management. As climate change intensifies, severe weather is greatly impacting cities around the world. Innovative solutions are crucial for mitigating the impact on urban infrastructure.
Throughout the challenge, students employ artificial intelligence to devise practical solutions that can be implemented not only in New York City but across other urban environments facing similar challenges.
The New York Climate Exchange has initiated this challenge in partnership with partners City University of New York, Duke University, Georgia Institute of Technology, Good Old Lower East Side (GOLES), IBM, Moody麻豆传媒檚, New York University, 麻豆传媒, Rochester Institute of Technology, Stony Brook University, and the University of Washington. Participating students will have access to advanced tools like IBM麻豆传媒檚 watsonx.ai technology and the Call for Code platform; Moody麻豆传媒檚麻豆传媒 insights and datasets; and GOLES麻豆传媒檚 community touchpoints. This provides a unique opportunity to translate theoretical knowledge into practical, impactful technological solutions.
The kick-off event was not just a demonstration of technological potential but also a celebration of the community and collaborative efforts. The deadline for team registrations is swiftly approaching on April 30th, with the next phase of the project leading to a presentation in October where finalists will present their solutions at the New York Exchange.
As we move forward, we invite all eligible students to register and participate in this extraordinary learning and development opportunity. Whether you are from a computer science, engineering, or interdisciplinary background, your unique skills and perspectives are invaluable. Join us in creating real-world solutions that not only address key environmental challenges but also pave the way for future innovations.
