The Challenge: Explore If And How AI Could Provide Support For Young People Struggling With Mental Health

During this hackathon, we’ll explore if there are hands-on ways to use AI to improve how we offer mental health support – especially for young people.

Mental health challenges among children and youth are on the rise, while healthcare systems around the world are struggling to meet the demand. In this gap, AI has the potential to make a real difference. AI-powered support tools can be scaled quickly, are available around the clock, and may offer a first step for those who might not otherwise reach out for help.

Clinical studies have shown that AI can, in some situations, provide effective mental health support – sometimes even on par with human therapists. And since AI learns from every interaction and outcome, it holds the potential to become increasingly precise and personalized over time.

This isn’t about replacing humans – it’s about complementing them. The combination of human insight and technical capability can be incredibly powerful. That’s why we’re excited to explore both fully automated solutions and hybrid models where AI and people work hand in hand.

Perhaps this is where the paradigm shift begins: not by simply digitizing what already exists, but by reimagining how, when, and by whom mental support can be offered. With AI as an ally, we can act sooner, do more – and reach further.

We’ll explore if and how AI can provide empathetic and responsible support to young people – for example, as a conversation partner in games, apps or school platforms. We're looking for creative solutions that combine ethics, technology and genuine care. Together with the Tim Bergling Foundation, Forefront and Google Cloud – you’ll be part of something that truly matters.
