Any software project ideas to help communities?

What are your recommendations about some interesting university software project ideas to solve community issues or to help the communities to achieve a better life?
What are some of the problems or issues facing by the communities right now that a software can more or less help to solve it? I am looking through UN sustainable development goals but can't actually come up with an idea.
This is my first ever software project to be developed, so I don't really know how much can I achieve as a beginner. As this is a 4 months project, I am scared that I don't have sufficient time to learn and develop a working application from scratch. University only teach programming syntax but never teach how to develop a software using those existing frameworks and APIs.
However, it would be better if the software could integrate some AI models as I am majoring in AI.

Thank you for any recommendations.
