What it is

A two-day hackathon run by OxAI and Oxford Edge, held across two Fridays. Teams build tools that help people make sense of three things: the world, the AI systems now describing it, and what those systems are doing to it. The work draws on applied AI, visual semiotics and digital public goods.

Choose your track

• Read the world (track partner: Gapminder): Use Gapminder’s indicators and misconception benchmark to show where people get the facts wrong, and what the data says.
• Read the machine (track partner: Intelligent Internet): Using open models and agent stacks, reveal what an AI agent actually did by tracing its tool calls, attributing its claims and flagging its guesses.
• Read the impact: Make AI’s effects on jobs, energy, health and information easy to understand, and build tools communities can act on. Uses open data from Our World in Data, Epoch AI and the AI Incident Database.
• Open lane: Any dataset, any sense-making problem.

Every team also works on two shared crafts: accessibility and visual semiotics.

What you’ll get

• Intelligent Internet compute credits for every team
• Developer support from Intelligent Internet and Gapminder, in person or online
• Two days to build with coders, designers and data specialists
