TED AI x UNIDO
I was honored to participate in a hackathon organized by TED AI and UNIDO (United Nations Industrial Development Organization). As part of a fantastic team—including a startup founder specializing in soil health and a talented software engineer—I contributed as the designer. Our mission was to develop innovative solutions aligned with the UN Sustainable Development Goals.
I’m proud to share that our team earned 2nd place in the competition.
Our project addressed four key 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.
