AIM was excited to join UNO’s inaugural OmahaxAI conference at KANEKO Tuesday, October 7th. AIM’s Director of Development Blaine Nelson was honored to be one of three judges for the intra conference student AI competition. The competition was designed to celebrate and highlight how the next generation envisions using artificial intelligence in their careers. Contestants were judged on the following criteria:
Creativity & Innovation: How original is your idea? Does it present a new approach or apply AI in unexpected ways? Judges look for submissions that think beyond conventional applications.
Potential Impact: Will your concept make a meaningful difference in your chosen field? Proposals are evaluated on their potential to solve real problems or create new opportunities.
Technical Feasibility: Could your idea reasonably be implemented with current or near-future AI capabilities? While visionary thinking is encouraged, concepts should have a path to reality.
Clear Communication: How effectively do you explain your concept? Judges value well-structured proposals and presentations that clearly document your development process and decision-making.
