<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica Neue"">Hi Sherryl! I’m writing to share an opportunity that I hope might be of interest to your students. ASU is partnering with AI for Good, the UN’s International Telecommunication
Union, and other groups to present the <a href="https://aiforgood.itu.int/AI-futures/#submit-application" target="_blank">
AI Futures contest</a>, which invites people to envision a moment from their future lives where AI plays a key role. The contest first asks for a short storyboard of about 2 pages, sketching out an idea. Selected finalists will submit a 2-4 minute short film,
expanding on the storyboard. The winning film will be screened during UN’s <a href="https://www.un.org/en/common-agenda/summit-of-the-future" target="_blank">
Summit for the Future</a> in New York City in September 2024.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
