Young AI Leaders Austria is the youth layer of Austria's AI ecosystem — city hubs in Linz and Vienna, part of the Young AI Leaders Community, an initiative by AI for Good.
Decisions about AI are being made now, and they will shape our working lives for decades. We take that seat from Austria: we connect young talent, build real work together and carry it into institutions and international rooms.
An initiative by AI for Good. Our Austrian hubs connect local talent to this international network.
Since January 2025, across three levels.

Hands-on workshops and school pilots equipping students with applied AI fluency, critical thinking, and how to navigate deepfakes and disinformation.

Capability, Availability and Responsibility are our baseline. We also look for alignment with our culture, mission and the work each team needs. Selection is deliberate because membership carries real responsibility.
Substance first: named rooms, shipped work and real numbers.
Our city hubs connect local talent to global ties — AI for Good, IEEE, UNESCO and the European Pact for Skills.
Members lead. The organisation runs to the standards expected by the institutions, partners and ministries we work with.
Starting from Linz and Vienna: strong local hubs, combined into an Austria-wide presence with international reach. Partners plug into selected youth AI talent, the Upper Austrian ecosystem and the national and global stages we already work on.
