Who is Denmark’s biggest AI talent 2022?
The Danish AI Championship is an annual competition for students. Formally, the Danish AI Championship for students is a national competition. Less formally, it’s also Ambolt AI’s way of celebrating the talents of the future.
For the DM in AI event 2022 we had the great honor of receiving the full event grant from DDSA.
Thank you DDSA, your support is much appreciated!
Ambolt AI designs and develops the assignments for the competition and is already well under way with the preparations for the Danish AI Championship 2022, which is to be held from 4–10 October. It is a broad-based competition which tests the skills of those taking part in areas such as Computer Vision, NLP and intelligent control of systems. In short, it is a week-long hackathon, challenging both the students’ professional competency and creative thinking.
We were very impressed with the interest shown and participation last year, which was the first year we organised the event. This year, several institutes have joined the universities, and the Danish AI Championship has grown into an independent concept with its own community. Last year, we found that even though it is a competition with a lot at stake, the students were still supremely good at helping one another along the way.
Andreas Berre Eriksen, founder of Ambolt AI elaborates: “Ambolt AI started out with a vision of bridging the gap between the research world and the business world because we saw huge potential in the commercial use of AI. As Danish pioneers in applied artificial intelligence, we feel compelled to help support the students who will be helping shape the Denmark of the future.
Ever since we were data science students ourselves, we’ve dreamed of doing something that helps people. We really felt we’d achieved that when, a little over a year ago, users of the Norwegian ‘Helseboka’ – developed by Ambolt AI and run by two Norwegian doctors – topped the million mark. Today, we’re up at almost 2.9 million users.
The success we’ve achieved since our student days is inextricably linked to our education as data scientists. The foundation of our success was laid not just by the professional competency surrounding applied AI but by the university community, too, hence our desire to give something back to the study environment where we ourselves thrived. So we thought about what we would have appreciated when we were at university.
The result was the Danish AI Championship for students”.
