The 2024 Global Impact Forum showcased AI's transformative potential in tackling critical societal issues, including educational inequality, climate change, and social justice. Leaders from Penn State University, the Pennsylvania Department of Community & Economic Development, and prominent AI organizations stressed the importance of shared responsibility and cross-sector collaboration to drive AI solutions that enhance social mobility and inclusivity. A highlight of the event was the Student Spotlight, which featured 80 high school and college students demonstrating their creativity, innovation, and problem-solving abilities to an audience of entrepreneurs, industry professionals, and higher education institutions.
