About this hackathon

A free two-day Human × AI hackathon by PIPress at the International Youth Centre, Kuala Lumpur: bring a real research, engineering or industry problem, use AI to investigate and build a solution on day one, then red-team your own work and prove what holds on day two. Four domains: AI for Malaysia (industry and society), trusted AI research and publishing, tokenization and digital finance, and frontier research and engineering. Outcomes can be research, experiments, prototypes, hardware or system designs; existing projects are allowed if you explain what is new. Jan 23–24, 2027; registration open until Jan 15, 2027. Solo or teams of up to 5. RM10,000 in prizes.

一句话简介:PIPress 在吉隆坡国际青年中心办的两天免费黑客松,⁠‌‍‍‌‍‌‌‍‌‍‌‌‍‍‍‌‍‌‍‌‌‌‍‍⁠带一个真实的科研、工程或产业问题来,用 AI 做研究和方案,再自己拆台验证,最后证明哪些站得住。

看点:第一天研究和开发,第二天红队自查、找失败案例、核对 AI 输出;四个方向:马来西亚产业与社会(棕榈油、榴莲、精准农业等)、可信 AI 科研与出版、代币化与数字金融安全、前沿科研与工程;成果可以是论文式发现、实验、软件、Agent、硬件原型或机制设计,不一定要写 App;可以带已有项目,但要说明哪些是新做的;赛前有四场线上工作坊

奖金:1 万马币,一等奖 3,000、二等奖 2,000、三等奖 1,000,特别奖共 4,000;优秀项目有发表和产业对接支持(不保证发表)
