Background
The evolution of AI has brought forward remarkable advancements in technology. However, these developments have also highlighted a significant issue: biases within AI datasets, particularly racial biases. These biases, often a result of unrepresentative training data, can lead to AI outputs that are unfair and discriminatory, especially towards marginalized communities. There is a pressing need for tools and methodologies that can quickly and effectively identify and correct these biases, ensuring AI technologies are equitable and inclusive.
Problem Statement
Currently, AI developers face considerable challenges in identifying and rectifying biases in AI datasets. Traditional methods for bias detection and correction are often time-consuming and complex, making them impractical for rapid development cycles. This delay in addressing biases can lead to their perpetuation in AI outputs, reinforcing existing prejudices and inequalities. The challenge is to streamline this process, enabling swift and efficient bias mitigation.
Mapping the Challenge
How can we help AI developers to quickly identify and correct racial biases in existing AI/NLP datasets by developing a prototype or concept tool when confronted with biased AI outputs, instead of relying on traditional, time-intensive bias identification methods?
Criteria
- Speed and Efficiency: The effectiveness of the solution in rapidly identifying and correcting biases.
- Innovative Approach: The uniqueness and creativity in the solution’s design and implementation.
- User-Friendly Design: The accessibility and ease of use of the solution for AI developers.
- Potential Impact: The ability of the solution to make a significant difference in enhancing fairness in AI.

Detecting AI-generated child sexual abuse material
by UNICRI & United Arab Emirates Ministry of Interior
How can we help law enforcement investigators quickly distinguish real child sexual abuse material over AI-generated material by providing them with an innovative tool/approach to automatically flag potentially faked or altered materials when reviewing and prioritising a vast amount of files, instead of chasing leads that are not going to help real children in need of safeguarding?

Streamline the sheltered housing process in The Hague
by Gemeente Den Haag
How can we help the municipality field workers and housing organizations in The Hague to allocate shelter seekers in better matching locations by enabling them to work efficiently within a shared overview when taking into consideration the different types of homeless people, the latest city data and the best way to guide them on the journey from daily to (semi-) permanent placement, instead of operating in an urgency state and not utilizing resources to their optimal capacity and purpose?

Shortage of water professionals in the global south
by Wavemakers United & IHE Delft
Addressing the critical need to increase the capacity of water sector professionals worldwide. Despite the common understanding of this necessity, a solid global dataset depicting the actual demand is lacking, leaving a gap in targeted efforts. Your mission: Help map out the shortage of water sector professionals per sector across the globe. We aim for a comprehensive overview, transcending traditional country or region-based reports.
