Itching to solve a technical or business problem using AI technologies like machine learning and deep learning? The Dell EMC AI Challenge is your chance to get noticed — and maybe even get your innovation off the ground.

What are we looking for?

Dell EMC invites you to participate in an AI Challenge!
Abstracts and proposals will be accepted through May 31, 2018, and will be reviewed according to the following three criteria:
  1. Most innovative use of AI technology
  2. Biggest economic or social impact

Who's judging the entries?

A panel of industry experts will give each entry careful consideration:
  • Michael Jones, Sr. Director of Strategy, Halliburton
  • Matt Hall, CEO & Founder, Agile Scientific
  • Matt Grover, Principal Technical Architect, Walmart

What happens next?

Five finalists will be selected between June 24 and June 26, 2018. All five finalists will receive exclusive remote access to a Dell EMC HPC and AI Innovation Lab cluster, powered by a Dell EMC PowerEdge C4140, to prove out their ideas.
