Artificial intelligence (AI) applications can profoundly affect society. Recently, there has been extensive interest in studying how scientists design AI systems for general tasks. However, it remains an open question as to whether the AI systems developed in this way can work as expected in different regional contexts while simultaneously empowering local people. How can scientists co-create AI systems with local communities to address regional concerns? This article contributes new perspectives in this underexplored direction at the intersection of data science, AI, citizen science, and human-computer interaction. Through case studies, we discuss challenges in co-designing AI systems with local people, collecting and explaining community data using AI, and adapting AI systems to long-term social change. We also consolidate insights into bridging AI research and citizen needs, including evaluating the social impact of AI, curating community datasets for AI development, and building AI pipelines to explain data patterns to laypeople. Co-creating AI systems can empower local communities to address regional concerns Designing AI for social impact is the key to linking AI research closer to local needs Curating data with local people can yield agency to them and facilitate AI research Explaining data patterns using AI can reveal local issues for public scrutiny Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly used to analyze large amounts of data in various practices, such as object recognition. We are specifically interested in using AI-powered systems to engage local communities in developing plans or solutions for pressing societal and environmental concerns. Such local contexts often involve multiple stakeholders with different and even contradictory agendas, resulting in mismatched expectations of the behaviors and desired outcomes of these systems. There is a need to investigate whether AI models and pipelines can work as expected in different contexts through co-creation and field deployment. Based on case studies in co-creating AI-powered systems with local people, we explain challenges that require more attention and provide viable paths to bridge AI research with citizen needs. We advocate for developing new collaboration approaches and mindsets that are needed to co-create AI-powered systems in multi-stakeholder contexts to address local concerns. AI systems have great potential to be applied in achieving Sustainable Development Goals. However, conflicts of interest among multiple stakeholders result in challenges when co-designing AI systems with local people, collecting community data to fine-tune the AI models, and adapting the behavior of AI to long-term social change. Through case studies and the literature, this article explains these challenges and highlights viable paths toward empowering local communities to advocate for social and policy changes in response to pressing regional issues.
