Aspen Digital is working on Community-Aligned AI Benchmarks to align the goals of AI developers with the priorities of communities on the frontlines of global challenges. We are starting with food systems and nutritional security, a critical sector where AI applications hold promise but their development remains under-explored.

To ensure future AI research responds to real needs, we are launching a global call for input from food security professionals and practitioners. This short survey is designed to elevate the key challenges that people in the field are facing. The insights we gather will help guide the development of new benchmarks to inspire AI research that supports community-driven solutions and foster development.

Join the webinar ‘Feeding the Future: Shaping AI Benchmarks for Better Food Systems on Tuesday, July 29, from 12pm – 1pm ET and be part of the conversation.

Join us for a dynamic virtual conversation bringing together food security professionals and technologists to discuss the current state of technology in the field, how we got here, and where we’re headed.

The webinar is our next step towards strengthening the alignment between the AI and food security communities. We will explore how to bridge the gap between the pressing needs of the food systems sector and cutting-edge research into new AI capabilities. Whether you are designing solutions or implementing them, your participation matters. 

Together, we can shape the direction of AI development to help us feed the future.

This work is made possible thanks to support from Siegel Family Endowment.
