The Activate AI: Economic Opportunity Challenge is a global
call for innovative AI applications that empower people and communities, and
that unlock economic opportunity for a resilient future.

With the launch of this challenge, data.org and Zoom are
seeking out projects that drive AI workforce development and organizational
capacity, develop pathways to create future friendly jobs leveraging data and
AI, and build climate resilient communities for a green economy.

All Entries must have a charitable
purpose, as defined in Section 501(c)(3) of the internal revenue code of
the United States of America. In order for a project to be charitable under
U.S. law, it must (i) have a broad social purpose and benefit and (ii)
not result in financial gain to any individual or any non-charitable entity
that is more than “incidental and tenuous” to the related social impact. You
can read more about the second requirement here.

Q&A Session: December 9, 2025
