Image above: the winning teams and participants in the Harmony AI hackathon on 3 June 2024 AI Hackathons: A Playground for Innovation What is an AI hackathon? A hackathon is an event that may last for a day or several days where people collaborate to solve a problem. The word “hackathon” is a portmanteau of “hack” and “marathon”. The first hackathon was held in 1999 by OpenBSD in Calgary, Canada[1]. Initially, hackathons were used for software development problems, but now organisations are running hackathons for a much more eclectic range of tasks, such as planning the marketing strategy of a nonprofit, and now there are AI hackathons.
