From 9th to 15th August, the first International Olympiad on Artificial Intelligence (IOAI), organized by the LERAI Foundation, was held in Burgas, behind which five Bulgarians are behind.

More than 200 students from 40 different countries took part in the first edition of IOAI and participated in the two rounds of the competition. Bulgarian students were awarded two bronze medals in the scientific round and a gold medal in the practical round.

The science part of the Olympiad focused on machine learning, natural language processing, and computer vision. During it, participants mimicked real scientific research that helped them develop new AI models. In this round, the gold medalists were the Singapore, Poland, and Letovo teams.

The practical part tasked students to generate visuals based on Maria Ilieva’s song “Love” and create a cover and video for the song. Maria Ilieva herself personally took part in the Olympiad with her single. This round gave gold medals to Bulgaria, Poland, Austria, and the USA, of which Bulgaria was named runner-up.

The next edition of IOAI will be held in Beijing, China, where even more participants and many gold medals are expected.
