IOAI Hong Kong Regional Selection Competition 2027

The International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI) is a competition focused on AI algorithms, aiming to inspire, nurture, and enhance the world's best students in the field of artificial intelligence. Each year, IOAI focuses on different areas of artificial intelligence algorithms, such as Natural Language Processing (NLP), Machine Learning (ML), and Computer Vision (CV). As an AI Olympiad, IOAI primarily uses the competition to actively engage in discussions with students and the public about the ethical issues and future of artificial intelligence.

Over the past two years, AiTLE has collaborated with IOAI (Hong Kong) to organize the "(IOAI) – 2025 and 2026 Hong Kong Team Selection Competition". Many schools signed up to participate. After several rounds of selection, eight students were chosen to represent Hong Kong in the IOAI 2025 and 2026 World Championships. The students were well-prepared and, following their excellent results in 2025, achieved even better results in the 2026 IOAI World Championships (including one gold medal, two silver medals, and two bronze medals). In 2027, AiTLE will collaborate again with IOAI (Hong Kong) to organize the "(IOAI) – 2027 Hong Kong Team Selection Competition," aiming to carefully select the Hong Kong team through training and competition, enabling them to achieve outstanding performance in the International Olympiad in Artificial Intelligence (IOAI). This initiative actively encourages and educates students to acquire knowledge of artificial intelligence and cultivates their ability to use and improve artificial intelligence algorithms.

3. We will send invitations to each school indicating the participation fee (Competition fee, Flight, Hotel accommodation, Training and miscellaneous), and we suggest school to use EBD fundings (like LWLG, eOEBG etc) to support their student to join

4. Depending on each school's budget plan, school can also consider to apply and utilize various funding source (like PTA donation, Alumni Association Donation, School Sponsoring Body Sponsor etc) to support


5. As local organizer, we understand the funding application and processing takes time, that schools could not pay up the amount before the IOAI event in August. We often receive that amount afterwards, and we would pay for all the expenses up front to ensure the participation and training provided can run as smoothly as possible.
