TED AI x UNIDO
I was honored to join a hackathon with TED AI and UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization). I was part of a fantastic team alongside a startup founder working in soil health and a talented software engineer. My role was designer, and our team's mission was to ideate solutions connected to the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
Our project touched on four of these goals:
Zero Hunger
Responsible Consumption and Production
Life on Land
Climate Action
Short summary
Generative AI solution
The first part of our solution was a generative AI solution where personalised guidance on what crops to farm and when. based on parameters,
Simulating animal movement
The second part of the solution was a robot simulating grazing animals movement patterns. (since they are a crucial part of reversing desertification) Understanding reasons for soil erosion and desertification was important, but finding prevcious research on ways to reverse desertification was the guiding star for us to move forward with a potential solution.
