The short version
The AI for Social Impact Global Challenge Program is the program on this site: a UNITAR-certified course and contest for students. It is not affiliated with the ITU's “AI for Good” initiative, and we don't claim any connection to it. If you were looking for the ITU summit, you'll want their site instead.
