What is the AI Hackathon?
Roll up your sleeves and put AI to work (or just watch the competition unfold!) as up-and-coming data scientists, problem-solvers, and developers must showcase quick thinking and demonstrate the growing scope of AI solutions.
Multiple teams will compete – with the winners receiving exclusive opportunities for career development with global organisations (and of course a ton of swag to take home too!)
