[Geneva, Switzerland, July 11, 2023] The problem statement, introduced by Huawei as part of a competition at the recent AI for Good Global Summit, the UN’s leading platform for comprehensive dialogue on AI, raises awareness of the role of AI in the fight against climate change. is intended to increase The challenge is part of a series of competitions organized by UN agencies led by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) and the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to harness the wisdom of the crowds to find AI solutions to climate change. doing.
The 5G Energy Consumption Modeling Challenge organized by Huawei aims to develop machine learning models to reduce the energy consumption of base stations from all manufacturers. In the coming months, scholars around the world are encouraged to brainstorm on this issue.
Team registration is now open and will close on September 30, 2023. A panel of judges will evaluate the best solutions, which will then be presented at the 28th Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (COP28) in Dubai. UAE, end of the year.
Huawei’s Xi Zheng issued a problem statement at the ITU AI for Good Global Summit 2023 held in Geneva, Switzerland.
Xi Zheng, a researcher and coordinator of the challenge at Huawei’s Global Technical Services Division, said the company is “raising awareness of thorny issues in ICT and maturing solutions that can be applied by researchers and professionals around the world.” We would like to encourage them to contribute to and show how the AI features work.” It can be used to address real-world problems. ”
She said the winners will receive cash prizes as well as internships and collaboration opportunities at Huawei.
Huawei’s problem statement covers one of the thematic areas of competition. Other thematic areas include food, climate-smart agriculture and water resource management.
The ITU AI for Good Summit 2023 was attended by around 3,000 experts on-site from all disciplines around the world.
Seizo Onoe, Director General of the ITU Telecommunications Standardization Bureau, said, “At this time when concrete progress is urgently needed on a global scale, combining ICT and AI solutions will provide effective solutions for concrete actions. It is important to observe how solutions can be provided.
ITU Program Officer Thomas Basicoro, who is also ITU Coordinator and Manager, said: “The Problem Statement, released here with the support of a global community of key stakeholders, including Huawei, offers a glimpse of an exciting new path forward. This could create momentum for a joint digital climate action,” he said. ITU machine learning and his 5G activity.
This is the fourth ITU AI/Machine Learning Challenge for 5G. The challenge brings together participants from over 100 countries with industry and academia to solve real-world problems using AI and machine learning in communication networks.
