Participants in the first International AI Olympiad (IAIO) continue their scientific tests in Riyadh as part of the Global AI Summit.

Representatives from 25 countries are participating in the event, which is organized by the Saudi Data and Artificial Intelligence Authority (SDAIA) in collaboration with the International Center for AI Research and Ethics (ICAIRE) and the International Research Center on Artificial Intelligence (IRCAI) in Slovenia, under the sponsorship of UNESCO.
The IAIO tests lasted five hours on Wednesday, during which participants individually answered the questions. The names of the gold, silver, and bronze medal winners will be announced on Thursday, SPA reported.
SDAIA aims to make IAIO a global platform for AI competitions, nurturing talents and enhancing their skills. It is envisioned as a meeting point for scientists and enthusiasts from around the world to exchange expertise, develop skills, and stay updated on the latest advancements. SDAIA also aspires for this Olympiad to be the foundation for its future expansion into other countries, marking a significant step in encouraging young people worldwide to create a new generation with a deep understanding of AI technologies, which have become integral to daily lives and business systems.
