About Teens in AI


Teens In AI was launched at the UN AI for Good Global Summit in May 2018.
We exist to inspire the next generation of AI researchers, entrepreneurs and leaders, who will advance AI for humanity’s benefit and will shape the world of tomorrow.
We aim to democratise AI and create opportunities for young people aged 12-18 to explore AI, machine learning and data science through a combination of expert mentoring, talks, workshops, hackathons, accelerators, company tours and networking opportunities that give young people aged 12-18 early exposure to AI for social good.
