The Call for Code AI Global Challenge mobilizes developers, enterprises, universities, and global institutions to build AI solutions designed for real-world deployment — not proof-of-concept, but production.
Solutions are developed in the open, validated through institutional frameworks, and the strongest are elevated to a global stage: recognized by the United Nations and supported toward deployment in communities worldwide.
Alongside the Global Challenge, Spot Challenges enable rapid mobilization around urgent issues as they emerge — operating within the same governance framework so that speed and accountability are never in conflict.

"Call for Code was built through extraordinary collaboration. IBM, United Nations Human Rights, and The Linux Foundation created a global platform where developers could apply their skills to the world's most pressing challenges — and over eight years, it grew into the largest developer mobilization of its kind.
What made it work was not technology alone. It was the alignment of innovation with institutions and a shared conviction that developers are among the most powerful agents of change in the world.
Today, AI is embedded in the systems that govern our societies — healthcare, justice, finance, public infrastructure. The responsibility to build technology that serves humanity has never been greater. The cost of getting it wrong has never been higher.
Call for Code AI exists because the developers who build the future should also be the ones who hold it accountable."
— David Clark, Founder & CEO
