HackAIthon themes and challenges

About the themes and challenges

During HackAIthon, you will collaborate with peers, mentors, subject matter experts, and community members to explore meaningful themes and co-create solutions that drive positive change.

Your task in the hackathon is to tackle real-world challenges and create solutions that either harness the potential of artificial intelligence (AI) or help manage its risks, aligned with at least one of our five themes.

The five themes

The challenges for each theme are now available.
