About This Event
Come one, come all to NYC's first Artificial Intelligence Hackathon, hosted in collaboration with Clarifai!
The Theme: Make something with AI that will advance the inevitable robot apocalypse.
- This is a hackathon about having a good time! We're giving you fun themes to hack towards so that you can both exercise your hacking chops and have a ball doing it.
- Work in groups, or individually! We'll make sure all of those looking for teams will get a chance to interact with each other.
- Clarifai is hosting the event, but you are not required to use their technology to win. If you do though, you'll get extra free API credits, and we'll be hosting a workshop or two for beginners/anyone interested.
