Want to solve hard problems in AI/ML?

What it is

Oxford Edge and G-Research have curated 16 open problems at the frontier of AI and machine learning. They range from building more capable agents and LLMs to AI for science, secure infrastructure, and safer, more trustworthy systems. Students form teams around the challenges that appeal to them, get a detailed brief at kick-off, and meet for check-ins through Michaelmas and Hilary. 

Teams present what they’ve built, discovered or proved at a final showcase, with £5,000 in prizes.
