Inverse Surveillance AI Hackathon 2021

Posted on by Juliette van der Laarse

This hackathon is part of the Inverse Surveillance AI research project.

Hackathon Challenge: With your help we can demonstrate the potential of Inverse Surveillance AI —> using AI to surveil governments and bigger organizations to identify and predict wrongful behavior or systematic flaws and by doing so empower citizens.

Everyone is welcome to join. (Individuals & Teams)
This includes students, researchers, professionals, etc.

What to Expect

The hackathong consists of two parts:
1. One month of preparation time (starting October 15, 2021)

Join and make a difference!

Your Proof of Concept, in combination with the theoretical research and expert interview podcasts will serve as a launchpad for future research and work into the topic of Inverse Surveillance AI.

Inverse Surveillance offers a new pespective on the dynamic between citizens and bigger organisation and governments. AI makes this dynamic feasible. Inverse Surveillance AI can empower citizens and turn them into auditors keeping bigger organisations and goverments in check, and by doing so democratize technology in the process.

Your proof of concept has the power to demonstrate the potential of Inverse Surveillance AI and get this idea rolling.
