September 2 17:45
Registration for the competition continues AI Challenge – International AI competition for children and youth, the organizers of which are Sber and Alliance in the field of artificial intelligence. Since this year, not only schoolchildren, but also students under 25 years old studying in colleges and universities can take part in the competition. The prize fund AI Challenge is 15.6 million rubles.
To take part in the competition, you need Until September 22 Register on the site and go through the qualification stage, during which the participant chooses the track, gets acquainted with the format of the competition, receives new knowledge and solves the problems of AI. Those who successfully cope with the task will be held in the main stage, as a result of which the strongest will go to the semifinals, where they will solve complicated AIs and protect them before experts. The best of the best will fight for the main prizes in the final, which will be held from October 27 to November 10. The competition takes place in an online format, so participation is possible from anywhere in the world.
According to the results of the competition, the winners will be invited to the award ceremony, which will be held in Moscow as part of the international conference AI Journey. In addition to cash prizes, winners will be able to go through a special educational program for the preparation of the Russian team to participate in the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) in 2026.
The competition takes place in three tracks – by age and level of training:
- In the individual track “Beginners” Schoolchildren can participate until the 8th grade inclusive. To solve problems, Python basic knowledge and understanding of the basics of machine learning are necessary. The format is focused on the first experience in the AI app.
- In the track “Schoolchildren” Students compete until the 11th grade, graduates of the current year and students of SPO. Participants will have to solve problems of medium and increased complexity: both individually and in teams. Confident programming skills on Python, knowledge of the classic machine learning algorithms and the basics of neural networks are needed.
- In the student track Students of colleges and universities take part. Participants are offered complex cases at the junction of bioinformatics, computer vision, dialog systems and multimodal models. Advanced programming skills, a deep understanding of ML and experience with DEEP Learning architectures are required.
