The Caregiver Artificial Intelligence Prize Challenge | ACL Administration for Community Living The Caregiver Artificial Intelligence Prize Challenge The Caregiver Artificial Intelligence Prize Challenge Across the nation, more than 70 million paid and unpaid caregivers provide support that makes community living possible for older adults and people with disabilities.
Meanwhile, the direct care workforce faces historic shortages, and family caregivers are increasingly called upon to fill gaps. Physical, emotional, and financial strains impact their ability to continue providing care, and the result is a growing crisis that threatens the ability of millions of Americans to live independently.
ACL’s Caregiver AI Prize Challenge seeks practical and effective ways to use AI to help address these challenges — reimagining how technology can improve care quality, reduce burden, and strengthen the caregiving infrastructure for the future. The competition will recognize and reward innovators who are developing, testing, and scaling AI-enabled tools to support both family caregivers and the direct care workforce.
The challenge includes two tracks running simultaneously. Teams will compete for prize awards across three phases (design, implementation, and scaling).
